Or maybe not everything was bad about "colonial regimes of old".
At this point in history, it seems likely every human being is descendant of people who at some time conquered other people.
- inglor_cz 5y agoVery few contemporary nations (perhaps the Icelanders and some other remote island nations) took a pristine, empty land that belonged to no one. Most of us live on graves and ruins of other civilizations or at least tribes. Much of that displacement was coerced or outright violent. Ironically, if the previous entity was obliterated completely (e.g. Carthage), there is no one left to nurture resentment.
