This week I was posting something about post World War 2 and how multiple imperialist powers gave up their overseas holdings, and I very nearly typed about how all of these countries just voluntarily did it. But I was posting about France and Algeria, so I knew that couldn't be true, so I looked up the process of decolonization and of course I had basically just about regurgitated some weak ass History Channel noble white folk nonsense about how the magnanimous West just let Asia and Africa roam free after WW2.
What stupid shit have you caught yourself doing or saying recently?
Literally until a couple weeks ago it did not compute that we fought the American War in Vietnam because they had a successful socialist revolution and are still a socialist nation. I feel like such a rube.
