I said the gun did, Europe would've got their shit pushed in without it. Which wasn't even a European invention, needed China for that.
I never said African tribes didn't fight or have wars or whatever, i didn't say that at all. They knew Europe existed, they saw it. They went there, the Moors had Spain for a while.
They saw Europe and saw a place that they didn't want. What could they covet there? Swamps and trees?
I'm not rage baiting, if you're raging that's on you.
Have a good night pooky 😘
@anevemsamu@williililii@scottbolshevik No, I said it was one of the first things they did. Leopold was king when Belgium was founded and he was the one that ventured to the Congo and killed 10 million people.
Because their focus wasn’t “conquering”. They focused on trade and knowledge, they were curious and wanted to explore, trade max.
In 1312 Abubakari sent 2000 ships across the Atlantic to learn. Conquered nobody. You can rest assured those 2000 ships could’ve taken any European country at the time.
At its core, “Europe” honestly didn’t colonize Africa, the gun did. Which wouldn’t have even been a European thing if not for China.
The conquering mentality is a very European thing. It’s pretty fucking psychotic.
@anevemsamu@williililii@scottbolshevik What was it before 1885?
Ohhh the Berlin Conference, you mean the one where it was declared “this area now known as Congo which was a bunch of kingdoms up til now belongs to Leopold”.
Witchcraft still exists EVERYWHERE, like all your friends going to St. John’s Basilica every Sunday. Eating wafers made from “body of Christ”
So don’t come all up in here saying that Europeans were more advanced.
“Some” Europeans were the aristocracy, the leaders. They were eating ground up mummies and marching across Africa pretending to be better.
They didn’t use the wheel, cause the camel was better. It didn’t need roads and carried more. You came up in here stating they didn’t know about it, they did and they didn’t want it. All over Africa.
@anevemsamu@williililii@scottbolshevik Right, your argument is “lol we came and wrecked your shit and fucked you up so take the L”. Do you hear yourself?
@anevemsamu@williililii@scottbolshevik Belgium became a country in 1830, what are you even talking about late 19th century?
So the first thing they did as a country is head out to colonize Africa… where Leopold killed 10 million people.
They were using them wtf? They had advanced kingdoms (Mali, Songhai, Ghana, Benin, Oyo, Aksum, Funj).
They had advanced cotton weaving systems and iron smelting like 7000 years ago when Germanics were living in mud huts fucking their sisters.
They had advanced trade networks, and huge agricultural systems for thousands of years.
Then Europe, like your Dutch buddies comes in, blasts everything and takes it all.
Europe is the way it is today BECAUSE of the resources and slave labour they stole. Not “brilliance and genius of white people”. lol
Britain’s Industrial Revolution was fueled by Africa’s gold, ivory, palm oil etc…
Belgium would be a third world country without the congos slave labour and rubber.
Europe didn’t “earn” shit, they just took it. And took it brutally.
Before Europe coming in, there weren’t even borders on countries. They didn’t need that shit. The European created borders is what caused hundreds of years of destabilization.
@anevemsamu@serenityposting@williililii@scottbolshevik lol they knew about the wheel wtf? They just didn’t use it cause it was pointless.
How useful is the wheel across the desert?
During colonial times people in Europe were eating ground up mummies cause they thought it gave them powers lol.
Being better than the 50s doesn’t mean it’s good enough. Child poverty and rent burden in the US is among the highest in the world.
Labor share, from the 50s to today has skewed by a lot. In the 50s workers got about half and today it’s less than half. There’s more money yet the workers aren’t seeing more of it.
@Kait8989@TorontoStar China’s awesome, they’re stable, they don’t start wars, they don’t molest the money like America, they build hospitals in third world countries, they create amazing technologies, they’re fair in trade, their AI is actually open source and free, their food is great
@Antiwhites_of_X@itsnwts I really hope y’all keep chirping and woman decide to just stop having kids with men lol. Just pre programmed artificial insemination
