This utterly ridiculous racist claim that previously colonized regions like Africa and India are poor because they’re “incapable of governing themselves” collapses the moment you look at actual evidence not fantasies about “White Man’s Burden”.

India alone obliterates the argument. Britain left it poor, illiterate, famine-ridden, and deindustrialized - yet post-1947 India has stayed democratic, built elite scientific institutions, developed nuclear weapons and space capability, and lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. If former colonies were inherently incapable of self-rule, India should have collapsed instantly. It didn’t. Because the problem was never intelligence, culture, or “work ethic” - it was that colonialism robbed us of all our wealth & resources and left us barely gasping for existence.

India wasn’t some backward wasteland before British arrived- it was an economic heavyweight. In 1700, India was producing 24% of global GDP and 24.5% of the world’s manufacturing output, more than ALL of Europe combined. Its textiles, steel, shipbuilding, and agriculture dominated global trade. By 1900, under British rule, India’s share of world manufacturing had been crushed to 1.7%. By 1947, its share of global GDP had been reduced to a miserable 4%.

That’s not “failure to develop.” That’s systematic economic annihilation. Our Industries were deliberately dismantled to eliminate competition for British manufacturers. The “infrastructure gift” argument is even more dishonest. Indians paid for the railways themselves through crushing taxes, forced labor, disease, and famine. And those railways weren’t even built to develop India - they were built to exploit and strip raw materials from Indian villages and funnel all our resources to British ports. Without those Indian resources & slave labor - there would never have been any Industrial Revolution. Then the Brits flooded Indian markets with factory goods made from our stolen resources forcing us to buy back those goods at hugely inflated prices just to survive. This was no development - it was a doubly exploitative extraction engine built specifically to suck India completely dry.

While India was bleeding wealth, Indians were also being bled to death. Between 1770 and 1947, at least 40 million Indians died in famines that were directly caused or worsened by British policy. While we starved the railways were loaded full of forced grain exports to ensure imperial profits were prioritized over Indian lives, so that British warehouses could overflow with food.

By the end of British rule, India’s life expectancy was UNDER 21 years. NO sanitation. NO public health. NO investment in human capital. Just generations ground down to dust to fuel a voracious, cruel and inhuman empire. Cold, calculated destruction.

The “Europeans tried to train locals but couldn’t find talent” claim is also pure fantasy. Colonial administrations in Africa systematically blocked natives from higher education, seniormost bureaucracy, engineering, and command. At independence, Nigeria had barely 120 university graduates for tens of millions of people. The Belgian Congo had fewer than 30 and barely any African officers. This wasn’t because they couldn’t learn - it was because they were deliberately blocked from learning. Even when they left the colonizers redrew borders to their advantage, with zero regard for people or history leading to future volatility and war zones.

So no - the colonized nations aren’t poor because we are incapable. It’s because colonialism shoved the starting line hundreds of miles back, stole our wealth, smashed our industries, starved our people, blocked human development, and then walked away pretending it had done us a favor.

The colonized didn’t fail - they survived predatory structures built to drain and break them. And nowhere is that clearer than India, whose economy now surpasses Britain’s over the wreckage of empire.

@FabrizioRomano These guys are one funny club. I hope this Rosenior guy negotiated a hefty severance fee, because it will definitely come to that before 18 months.
