i dont accept the whole fucking premise. so some goddamned ledger in some Crown Imperial Raj office says the government spent more than it collected in taxes. its such a myopic way of looking at things.
what monetary value is complete political dominance worth? how much is millions of lives snuffed out by the colonizers? how much is the destruction of cultures and languages? generations lived in poverty and illiteracy and malnutrition?
and people want to talk about fucing fiat currency maths from colonial administrators, gimme a fucking break :guts-rage:
