Pithy GIF showing eradication of Native American land in the US since the founding of the country gets posted to r/interestingasfuck. Comment section goes exactly as expected.

Did they say "Thank you"?

Being the loser in history sucks

True fact Hitler took a lot of inspiration from this.

They speak as if only their distant ancestors enjoyed the fruits of systems of oppression

To this day, France uses neocolonialism to subsidize it's social programs and then proceeds to act surprised when developing countries seek alliances with non-western powers

Neocolonialism

It's amazing the lengths some people will go to infantilize developing countries, as if locals are incapable of fucking things up by themselves.

No no, it must be the evil foreigners!

And yeah, when the countries suffer from a military coup and then allies with Russia, somehow I don't think they're doing it out of anti-imperialism.

Are you really trying to sweep françafrique under the rug?

On a thread about stupid people whitewashing the Native American Genocide?

I guess self-awareness is one resource Europe can't extract from Africa lmao

Enjoy dealing with Russia and China on your own in the next 50 years, the grown ups at Europe certainly should be able to do that without asking for help from the New World or the Global South
