Why European influences, vs the experiences of people that the Europeans screwed over to become wealthy?
This seems to ignore the history of bad people stealing land to make themselves rich, and the continuing wealth from that theft.
- kragen 5y agoIn my comment, I said, "Spain spent 300 years living off the plunder from Latin America and its other overseas territories, which of course perpetuated the power of plunderers." This was the beginning of my second paragraph's topic sentence. You responded, "This seems to ignore the history of bad people stealing land to make themselves rich, and the continuing wealth from that theft." Perhaps you intended to post your comment in response to a different comment? Or possibly you don't know what "plunder" means? In any case, I think "the experiences of people that the Europeans screwed over to become wealthy" tautologically resulted from "European influences", which suggests that your comment contains a self-contradiction in its first line, wherever you intended to post it.
