but I also don't think it was worth the effort. Why try to build civilization there into a tribal people who hadn't had it.

Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and so many more. Compared to Liberia etc.

The last time you spoke to me on the subject, you were pretty clear that colonization was bad by definition. I am not going to go dig up the post.

You gloss over the Romans. They were rough on resisting populations, but they brought law and trade to their conquered lands. They unified people by language. Scotland and Ireland were barbaric shitholes for a thousand years because the Romans decided they were not worth the effort.

All cultures are not equal. Raping children and cannibalism is not of the same value as the rule of law and fair, working courts. Having a big cry because the practice of suttee was stopped is utterly moronic, even if the Hindus really, really want to burn their widows.

I don't think colonization is what is happening to the western world, because the places the British Empire (for example) set up were not even countries yet. Even India was a bunch of tiny states ruled over by petty kings.

The western nation certainly are countries.

Palestine has been systematically murdering every voice of moderation, especially all the Christians, for more than a generation. The entire country is ruled by a theocratic terrorist regime. Even the other Islamic nations in the region want nothing to do with them because any immigrants immediately become militant and start terrorists attacks. Waves of immigrants from Palestine is a major reason as to why Lebanon turned into a religious civil war.

But feel free to go there and tell them to give the Palestinians more cuddles. That might just be what they need.

Anyway, carry on. I promise to more accurately recall your positions from now on.
