I'll go first. I had a take that if you see a bunch of advertisements saying to vote no on prop x, and nearly none saying yes on prop x, you should probably vote yes. Because if big money is behind an effort to sway towards no, there's probably corruption in the ranks.
All anglo people should shut up about other former empires, with the exception of Belgium, i guess. (Unless they are a historian).
You’re letting the Dutch get off easy
Nah all empires should be talked about and slandered from everyone.
No countries should be getting off for what they've done.
What is the difference between Belgium and other imperial countries (apart from the extra-gruesome shit)?
That what Leopold did in the Congo (or the native genocide by the brits/americans) was horrific even by other imperial standards (in my opinion).
So why shouldn't Anglos also talk about genocides committed by their people?
As a German, i absolutely do not want Anglos to shut up about what my ancestors did to the Herero and Nama in Namibia, or how they brutally crushed the Maji Maji uprising, or how von Lettow-Vorbeck used indigenous forced conscripts to fight the Brits in WW1, or how Germany participated in the colonial subjugation of China. I also do not think anybody should shut up about the colonies of the Dutch, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Italians, or France, or the Austro-Hungarian empire, and would not let anyone off the hook who is trying to excuse these. Yes, the British empire was, all in all, the worst due to sheer scope. That doesn't excuse anybody else, though.
