You seem determined to condemn European  colonialism and American liberalism for no other reason than to align yourself with Russia isolationism/communism/Irish isolationist Catholicism? Can I advise you after there was monks in Ireland there was also Catholic missions into Africa. This moral high ground stance of cavemen catholic Irishmen isolationists who think we are blameless and hold the moral high ground due to not being colonialists are fantasists. We were colonialists and still are in the form of the Catholic Church. Are you telling me those people (the church) only do good abroad and/or that the natives don’t want that western ideology there instead of their tribes’ ideology? Tell me your reasons. 

Yes France destroyed what they built when they were booted out of West Africa but their reasons for going there weee more nuanced and complex than rape and pillage. They brought civilisation, democracy and had reasons for protecting their own homelands which were vastly outnumbered. Isn’t it better to pre-empt invasion by going there yourself? And don’t give me this moral high ground scut that Ireland wasn’t protected by potential invasions over the centuries by European powers going there. I suppose you would take the Trotskies stance of let them invade us then we will be victims and blameless line? This tribe like parochial Irish monkist Catholicism?

I suppose you would trot out your already stated Russian disinformation of rape and pillage as reasons they went there when protection of their homelands was the reason. Also exploration and bringing new lands to fruition and out of isolation from the rest of the world due to lack of technology, democracy, engineering and so on. But you will argue these people were better off in tribes inbreeding and dying from disease? Yes there was many ills that resulted in a clash of civilisations, slavery, murder and so forth but those tribes didn’t have any laws to prevent those things in their own communities. A race to the top isn’t what I’m arguing for but condemning the Europeans for going there and what they did is cynicism in the extreme. It’s moral high ground reaching based off fact but most of the crime etc nowadays is of historic Russian origin. You’re aligning yourself with Russia.

And what about pre-empting invasion from lands that vastly outnumbered them population wise?

I assumed you were an Irish isolationist moral supremacist which borrows its anti internationalism slant from Russian disinformation, Marxism (that the lands resources are owned by the people there and that there should be no private property rights,) and finally Irish monk-like isolationist Catholicism, that claims we are blameless in the colonialism of those lands.

Yes, there was slavery, rape, pillage and murder but it was based on protecting their smaller vastly outnumbered homelands. You can cite all the authors you want, but the animus that existed towards Africans was based on those two points mainly. And the fact, Europe was more technologically advanced.

It resulted in a race for those lands and exploitation and murder followed.

What are like 15 years old? Geo political games? Do you think even the most naive readers fall for this innocent act? There are numerous factors at play not least Russian imperialism and disinformation about the west which you base your mock innocent act off of. Go ahead take the side of Russia. See how that works out for you.

Europe should do the same the American empire brings nothing but trouble. Ireland can kick out NGO's who receive American funding to meddle in our affairs.
