it's truer to say that the brits did the best they can as time went on, only that "the best they can" was lacking, at times even by their own standards

I mean, that's just not true.

In WWII, when the Japanese seized Burma and cut off Bengal's rice supply, they let between 1.5-3 Million Indians starve to death because they couldn't be bothered to work out the logistics to feed them.

Not that they didn't have the food. They did. They just didn't want to reallocate the ships to move it.

Much better. Scotland and Wales aren’t some sad little oppressed colonies. Especially in the former’s case - much of the trouble in NI is caused by Scottish-descended colonists, for example.

Also, I believe (to whoever brought up the Rwandan Genocide) that Rwanda was mainly administered by France. Not Britain.

Yeah the "protestants" in NI are really ulster scots and their anti catholic sentiment is really just anti Irish in general.

The really sad part is, Bloody Sunday could easily happen again. Having met a few paras in my time, I can tell you that that particular regiment of the army prides itself on being aggressive and always up for a fight. It wouldn’t even have to be in Ireland, they’d quite happily turn London into a war zone if the they wound up being sent there for some reason. (E.G - if the army had been put onto the streets during this epidemic)

Still, this doesn’t mean that it was England alone who oppressed Ireland - in fact, during the Troubles, many of the worst issues with sectarianism came from Scottish military units (or rather, units that were based in and mainly recruited from Scotland - such as the Black Watch). Yet it doesn’t excuse what the English did. I’m also aware of the Highland Clearances too. However, I wasn’t aware of there being a famine in the Highlands. Thanks for that - I’ll read up on that one.

Furthermore, as I’m sure you’re aware - it wasn’t entirely Scots vs English, while there was certainly tension there - there was also lots of tension and violence between the Lowlands Scots (who did not speak Gaelic - and were arguably more Germanic in origin) and the Highlanders (who were of Irish origin, and lived in the eponymous territory). In many areas there was just as much hatred between Highlanders and those from the Lowlands as between the Scots and English as a whole.

Tl;dr - England definitely did many bad things, but it’s not as simple as Scots vs English. Often it was a case of Highlanders vs Lowlands Scots too.

As opposed to you, who wants to push the idea that... what? Turks are Greek hybrids, and the three hundred year occupation of Greece by Turkey had no effect on their genetics?

Next, argue that the conquest of Constantinople didn't change the ethnicity of the people there, either - or argue why one case should be different from the other. Either way, I look forward to reading this.

Well, sure - looking at that place and deciding that Dutch settlers were the real threat was, ahem. a counting error, and infighting between European powers was the reason that colonialism failed.

It was a large project, and mistakes were made.

Still, if you are really going this route - please explain to me why it would have been better for the Europeans (and Arabs) to leave everyone in Africa illiterate, in mud huts, etc. instead of bringing them organized religion, roads, cars, medicine, information technology, gunpowder, etc. Their intentions were paternalistic, not moustache-twirling villainry, and the result was modernity.

If you would like to argue that it would have been more humane to leave them in the Stone Age, please do that. I don't even necessarily think that you're wrong - but it would be a very radical argument. Your options here are to either concede that the good (paternalistic, Christian) intentions of colonialism had good results, OR to go full Ted Kaczynski, and argue that African-Americans with jobs and cars would have been better off spear-hunting, and that Lincoln should have sent them back on boats for their own good.

I'm interested in seeing which way you choose.

You know what's funny? Unde European rule in South Africa, black people still had to live in huts and only white people could really have a modern state of existence. Please tell me some more about how colonialism was okay cause "they built roads." Like they killed your family and burned your village down BUT THANK GOD, THEY BUILT A ROAD.

They do love to mix the absolute worst aspects of numerous ideologies into one horrible stew of tyranny.

The soviet union was incredibly diverse while also extremley nationalist.

It was, at least under Stalin (ironically), a Russian nationalist state. Stalin was trying to recreate the borders of the Russian Empire, for God's sake.

Well, sure - looking at that place and deciding that Dutch settlers were the real threat was, ahem. a counting error, and infighting between European powers was the reason that colonialism failed.

It was a large project, and mistakes were made.

Still, if you are really going this route - please explain to me why it would have been better for the Europeans (and Arabs) to leave everyone in Africa illiterate, in mud huts, etc. instead of bringing them organized religion, roads, cars, medicine, information technology, gunpowder, etc. Their intentions were paternalistic, not moustache-twirling villainry, and the result was modernity.

If you would like to argue that it would have been more humane to leave them in the Stone Age, please do that. I don't even necessarily think that you're wrong - but it would be a very radical argument. Your options here are to either concede that the good (paternalistic, Christian) intentions of colonialism had good results, OR to go full Ted Kaczynski, and argue that African-Americans with jobs and cars would have been better off spear-hunting, and that Lincoln should have sent them back on boats for their own good.

I'm interested in seeing which way you choose.


An even nicer casestudy is Suriname. When the Dutch left, what remained was fully functional nationwide plumbing, irrigation and waterpurification systems. Which the locals did not bother to maintain, so is now completely defunct. In addition they decided to re-elect a previously convicted massmurdering drugdealer as their president who treats the population worse than the colonisers ever did.
Hard choice.

It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.
