> Many countries without an extensive history of colonialism have achieved the similar prosperity to the great European colonial powers That only makes it worse. > Hard to make the case that colonialism is the sole or principal factor that produced the prosperity of any of these countries. If I make 300k a year via human trafficking can I then point towards a doctor also making 300k and say "see, that means I didn't make my money through human trafficking!" > But if it is true that Portugal (23k) is an evil white supremacist economy and Lithuania (23k) is a virtuous economy, we should study Lithuania! Great job lads! Now you make it a race thing when nobody else has even mentioned race. > Does the Republic of Ireland (#4 per capita GDP) need to pay for United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland I can't see any way you could make a case for that. What's next, making Israel pay Germany? > Is the Ottoman Empire also very bad? Do the Turks need to pay up? The colonialism people seem to pass over them for some reason. Nobody in this thread has mentioned Turkey but you. Seems like you want to make this a racial thing.
