Europeans don’t like it when you interrupt their tirade against America, to ask them about Belgium in the Congo, or Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and others oppressing their colonies across the world, or operating the slave trade that fueled early America, or destroying the Central American civilizations for their gold and jewels, or fomenting countless wars, all happening for centuries before America was even born, but it’s all America’s fault.
The simple truth is that all governments are shitty, and we all have very uncomfortable histories. Acknowledge it, teach it, and commit to not repeating it. That’s the best strategy. Arguing over which psychopathic society is better, is stupid.
Remind me, which African colonies did Americans own into the 1950s.
I can tell you which European ones existed…
I can name you few banana republics well into the 2000s. Shit, you’re trying to do it again in Venezuela RIGHT NOW!

“Raise your hand if you can name a Belgian colony in Afri… actually nevermind…”
