@JohnWight1 Everywhere is hell for the poor
It's not geographically reliant on a location
But it's better to be poor in a Western capitalist nation than anywhere else
@Crossboner2200@KyleMcCordMuse This is really dumb
Infrastructure, legal systems, reduced poverty all produced by EC
The point remains EC was not extra bad. It had a long term net benefit & no amount of "ritual" framing & warping of tribal warfare can make it look better than EC
@Crossboner2200@KyleMcCordMuse Bengal Famine wasn't simply "Britain killed 3 million people." Most historians cite multiple causes:cyclone damage,crop disease,wartime disruption,inflation & policy failures Likewise,Hindu-Muslim tensions long pre-dated Partition;1947 intensified them but didn't create them
@RockChartrand The root of communism is the belief that you've found some solution that has evaded the greatest minds. It's a human facet that has many manifestations:
Spiritualism, religion, cults, conspiracy theories, supernatural etc
Low status people are drawn to these as a cope
@Crossboner2200@KyleMcCordMuse What are those effects?
They're positive ones
The British banned the practice of Sati India
The scale is irrelevant, they were just better organized & more technologically advanced
@linmeitalks Because it's more relevant
White peoples crimes are dealt with and not ignored because they're white
But you already know that, didn't you
@a9534927@Rakeshhkumaar Very misleading, in the early days Soviet was higher but Challenger & Columbia had 7 deaths each
The point remains, Soviets put winning the space race above the safety of its cosmonauts
@Crossboner2200@KyleMcCordMuse You're just making shit up to fit some "ritual" narrative
Every single African nation, India, Hong Kong, Singapore and every other one that was colonized. Their modern day success is directly attributable
@Crossboner2200@KyleMcCordMuse The argument that European colonialism was "extra bad" hinges on 2 things:
1. Modern revisionists cherry π picking & warping history
2. Totally omitting the net benefit ALL countries gained in the long term
This is a grift to gain power & special privileges in today's society
@Crossboner2200@KyleMcCordMuse Thats even dumber,fighting 4 the sake of fighting
U r just π picking
Plenty of examples of brutal tribal warfare which was the norm,just because yu can find examples of local agreements
There r no records 4 Hunter gatherers but the evidence shows they slaughtered each other
@Crossboner2200@KyleMcCordMuse Providing partisan accounts as sources is lazy & indicative of bigotry
Present the argument yourself
Books & documentaries are not evidence
Take a course in the hierarchies of evidence
