Awful takes from awful people

whenever you hear the word “decolonization” you pretty much know right off the bat that you are talking to a Marxist. These people have no real knowledge of history, or any other subject for that matter and are generally best ignored or ridiculed. Colonialism has pretty much existed since ancient times and there’s nothing inherently “white” about it… it’s just part of HUMAN experience.

    existed since ancient times

    they're talking about Rome (guarantee these morons only study European history so they can jack it to statues) and probably how Caesar genocided the Gauls specifically. If they weren't idiot internet commenters they'd know that the Greco-Roman tradition is what "white" European culture is based on. European colonists a millenia later we're still using the same justifications for "civilizing" native peoples that the Romans used. So yeah there is definitely something "white" about it considering European were the most prolific and barbaric colonizers in the world.

    of course they'll just say some shit like "but the Aztecs killed a whole village and resettled it once checkmate communists" and go on being a massive racist
