If so, was it polled somewhere?

    To be fair, colonialism is a human trait and it's been proven in every large society time and time again. You think the current US/UK empire is bad but if you look in your own back yard it's the same thing with a different spin.

    It is inevitable, humans are destined for this. It's unfortunate but it's what we do.

      That's just the propaganda you've been fed. The world doesn't need to be xenophobic or exploitative. These are learnt behaviors.

          Just because you're a terrible person doesn't mean everyone else is.

              Like a Christian deep in the closet talking about how gay people just need to suppress the natural urge all men feel to engage in gay sex, you believe that your internal experiences are universally shared across humanity. Because you are a selfish, deeply evil person, you refuse to believe that there is actually any such thing as a good person at all. You feel smugly superior to the rest of us who refuse to admit we're all evil, without realizing that not everyone thinks like you.

      yeah but the thing is other countries' policies didn't inspire apartied and the nazis and their holocaust.

      the US's exterminationist and segregationalist The US did those thing

      Hitler wrote in his diary how good america was at genociding its undesireables, and took it and ran with it

      The United States: world leader in being the absolute fucking worst thing in human history since 1619

        But that's kind of my point. The CCP engages in almost identical policies and political strategy. It's just under a different banner with a different mascot.

            If somebody looks at you and likes a thing you do, and then goes and commits genocide because they liked that you liked their favorite potato chip, does not make you connected to their genocide.

            You are fabricating connections while denying reality.

              Hitler literally wrote in his diary how good the US policies of extermination and land settling were, and, quite famously, his basis for Lebensraum: the material basis for the holocaust

              Get the fuck out of here nazi apologist

      I don't think any non-Western country has enslaved a continent, refused to pay reparations for enslaving an entire continent, and continue to plunder an entire continent of its resources.

          I'm going to make the bold claim that the Tang dynasty and the Achaemenid empire was nowhere near as bad as the Spanish empire or the British empire and unlike the first two, the second two are still relevant in modern times.

          Do you seriously think Cambodia "enslaved a continent"? Like, I think Pol Pot was one of the more destructive leaders in human history, but you're being silly.

          Japan was working on it but only partially did it. China didn't. Persia? uh . . . I don't think so. Egypt? No. Spain was part of the overall effort that the US and UK were part of.
