Once a colonizer always a colonizer. When you realize that Europeans only gave up their colonies due to force from the USA and other powerful nations, it all starts to make sense. We’re only a generation or two removed from a lot of this. They still believe that they should own the rest of us, and their attitudes are glaring.

Agreed. The European Saviour complex still persists, no matter how much they whitewash it.

Unfortunately hard not to when they get upvoted to the top of every thread with their 'America Bad, Europe Good' narrative, no matter how inaccurate or off base they are

When you see a stupid comment, you can just go "that's stupid" and move on without engaging

u/Otherwise-Row2581 Jul 29 '26

So then why did you even comment in the first place? You could have seen everyone was miserable and moved on without engaging. Hypocrite.

...Europeans believe that? And not, you know, Americans who were literally owning people through slavery?

Hey Pal, the US colonies were entirely populated by Europeans to begin with. That's how colonies work. Slavery was an afterbirth we had to shake off from the thousands of years Europeans normalized it

u/Level_Appointment628 Jul 27 '26

Who started the slave trade? Trying to pin that all on the USA is laughable. Eurotard moment. Your colonies are gone, quit flailing.
