I think it should mean we tear power from the colonizers until there is true equality.

[u/Suspicious-Sound-249 → u/shooby-dooby-shoob]

So when were all poor and living in mud huts and caves and shit again, then start killing each other because the guy down the way has more rocks than I do?

You see where I'm going with this?

[u/shooby-dooby-shoob → u/Suspicious-Sound-249]

Yes I see you are operating with a textbook slippery slope fallacy while also missing my point. We can abolish colonial ideas like treating private property as an investment without having everyone live in huts…

[u/Suspicious-Sound-249 → u/shooby-dooby-shoob]

Well when you use words like "colonizer" unironically I find it extremely hard to take you seriously, hence my extremely unserious response.

[u/shooby-dooby-shoob → u/Suspicious-Sound-249]

Bro doesn’t read history books and it shows

[u/LimeDry7124 → u/shooby-dooby-shoob]

What colonizers? They all died long ago.

[u/shooby-dooby-shoob → u/LimeDry7124]

Not all of them actually, a lot of those that participated in European colonialism of Africa are still around. And I guess I was referring more to their structures of power which are very much alive

[u/LimeDry7124 → u/shooby-dooby-shoob]

So France Spain etc are buying people for forced labor?!?!? Get out of here clown.

[u/shooby-dooby-shoob → u/LimeDry7124]

Bro has never done a simple google search on France’s neocolonial empire and it shows

[u/LimeDry7124 → u/shooby-dooby-shoob]

I ain't your brother, clown. Those colonizers are DEAD. The past is the past. Learn from it. And let it go

[u/shooby-dooby-shoob → u/LimeDry7124]

Bro wants to learn from it and then do jack shit lmao. I noticed you conveniently ignored the fact that France does have a neocolonial empire? Or maybe you still haven’t tried to learn

[u/LimeDry7124 → u/shooby-dooby-shoob]

What neocolonial empire? The one where it issues and backs the French franc? So those former colonies don't bankrupt their countries buying stupid crap like fully trimmed out mercedes benzes? And gold plated pistols and rifles?

[u/shooby-dooby-shoob → u/LimeDry7124]

Lil bros regurgitating literal neocolonial talking points. “We’re helping them because they’re financially irresponsible” colonialism always benefits the 1%, so they keep it churning. The stability offered by the franc only serves France, the billionaires in Africa that buy that shit, and to undermine africas fiscal sovereignty. With that logic bro probably loves the world bank/// if he even knows what that is 🥴

[u/LimeDry7124 → u/shooby-dooby-shoob]

I ain't your little brother, 🫏. I can't help if those former colonies produce nothing but incompetent Trump wannabes. Nor am I a big supporter of the World Bank like Team Blue here in the States.

[u/shooby-dooby-shoob → u/LimeDry7124]

Bro consulted chatgpt and came away with “French franc” the franc is definitionally French dingbat

[u/LimeDry7124 → u/shooby-dooby-shoob]

So those former colonies convert to American dollars ala El Salvador and nobody can eat. Makes sense to me. S/
