I always hear them *****ing about Western colonialism and, of course, lumping Israel into the equation as well. But you rarely, if ever, hear them mention China, or even Muslim expansion if you want to go back historically.

You would think that if someone is against colonialism on moral grounds, it should not matter whether it was carried out by Western countries or by others.

Take China, for example. Xinjiang, Tibet, and Inner Mongolia can all reasonably be described as colonist expansions. If you want to include economic colonialism, you can add the Belt and Road initiatives. Then there is Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the South China Sea.

Yet rarely, if ever, do you hear people on the left up in arms about any of this.

It's only colonialism if it was done by white people. Liberals look at everything through a race lens. In their minds brown/black/etc = good, white = bad.

Ignorance

B/c Leftists see propaganda videos of Maduro giving out a refrigerator to a woman with a dirt floor…..then claim equity. Immediately blame U.S. Imperialism for Cuba, VZ and Iran's woes….and never mention China's billion dollar investments in said countries.

The Left is basically stupid, emotional people

Communists don't screech about things that help their global takeover strategy

The utter blindness to truth is appalling with these people. Over 100 million lives have been lost because of communism in the last century. Videos, books, etc. have documented it fully and yet we have people voting for it willingly.

Because leftists see "privilege" as the only real sin. Hence, bad things don't count if they're done by "marginalized" people.

Really want to know how monumentally stupid and self loathing they are? It really is this simple...

Brown/black people = Good/Oppressed
White people = Bad/Oppressors

They have the mental and emotional makeup of small children. Buckle up and keep taking necessary precautionary measures...just wait until Boomers really start to die off and Gen X'ers are getting up there in age.

Because the root of the modern left is adolescent rebellion. Which naturally focuses on things that remind them of parental discipline; centrally Christianity.

Same reason they only bemoan slavery in the U.S. and scoff at any mention of all of the slavery (then, and currently) still going on, in Africa and Arab countries.


They're ****ing stupidass morons.

The largest colonization was through the Mongol invasions of Asia, Europe, India, Middle East, southeast Asia (etc). Of course that does not fit the Leftist narrative.

Remember as a kid in the 80's or 90's when they would slip in some left winged hippie BS propaganda in your favorite show, or you'd repeat the propaganda from school, and your mom or dad (most likely your dad) would call it out because you were raised in a good household with involved parents? Well your parents were the exception, not the rule.

Millions of kids ended up being successfully programmed by PBS, Disney, Hollywood, Elementary School...all the way through College...to see whites and capitalism disproportionately as the villains. The causes of all of humanity's problems. And they have now cycled up through the ranks of society and have had children of their own. I don't see how this is ever fixed without major unrest.

If you think about it...it truly reveals how racist they are to the core. They truly think so much less of brown and black people, that they are willing to hold them to embarrassingly low standards, all while holding whites to the utmost of standards.

Hell, most of them think blacks are too incompetent or poor or lazy or whatever to get a basic ID like everyone else. They truly believe minorities are inferior deep down...and I don't think most of them are even aware of this, or capable of self diagnosis.

Because Western Civilization basically won the expansion game. By the end of World War II, Europeans (including the U.S., which was Western Civilization based on European expansion) controlled the world. But World War II also ended the European squabbles that fed colonialism and Western Civilization expansion. The European powers gave up most of their world holdings to indigenous peoples who never understood Western Civ. to begin with. Thus began a slow walk back of Western Civilization.

The leftists/Globalists prefer clueless/freeloading colonization over a structured, organized type. Far easier to control.

Because Muslims & Chinese will continue to vote for these radical left wing idiots, and the leftist think will help them in some way, which they're really just stealing their money to commit fraud. When the truth is that once they take over areas like Dearborn & Minneapolis, these leftist lunatics will be phased out for Maslim values & eventually Sharia law.

THIS!
Even in the good schools that have kids a good education, it just isn't taught. Two fill years of US History pre and post reconstruction. The first half of course is a defacto intro to Western Europe history. Same for those that took Texas history. In high school I had ONE class on world history, yet even there a fool half I recall being devoted to Europe. Less than half of that close was spent on the middle and far east. Even then the focus was more cultural.

All of it was taught from the European point of view. Central and Southern American get less than a chair in the book before European colonization and exploration. China was taught from the view of trade routes, same with India.

Never one did a history class I took relate that Japan was at East with China before Pearl Harbor. The only Communists were in Russia. Etc.

They are into semicolonialism.

All great answers.

One of my kids told me he was learning about the slave trade. I asked him which slave trade to which he replied, the transatlantic slave trade. I then asked him if he'd heard of the Barbary pirates, and if he knew an estimated million white westerners were enslaved by Arabs and North African Muslims. I also told him that the Arab slave trade went on longer than the transatlantic and more people had been enslaved, and….it was still in some form going on.

His mouth dropped. He had no idea. I told him I was in no way excusing the transatlantic slave trade and yes it was abhorrent, but so is any slavery and he needed to know about this too. I suggested he bring it up in class next term.

If you're going to talk about slavery in school, don't only focus on the 'evils' of the west.

Slavery...gets **** done.

If you really want to see a head explode, tell them what culture, through considerable loss of life and fortune, ended state-sponsored slavery world-wide.

Let them know Christians put a stop to the slave trade in the west.

This is a good example of the left throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks. It serves to distract the right while they explain why the left is wrong while the left continues doing what they're doing.
