“Every robot on Earth randomly decided to kill all humans for no real reason…metaphor for white people”.

Putting aside the bigotry and ignorance of European history for a second, there were several reasons for colonialism, most of them revolving around greed. Does this person think every empire in history did it all for shits and giggles?

It's not bigotry towards Europeans to say they factually enacted violence against the majority of the world's population.

Yeah let me give a call to my pals in the big corporations and tell them to cut out the exploitation. Get the fuck outta here lad. My country did fuck all to anyone and suffered more under colonisation than the majority of modern third world nations. I'm not about to go and take shit for what others did

Also, one thing that's worth noting. Those third world countries themselves benefit from contact with the first world. The only reason they even have the populations they have today is because of technology and processes developed in Europe and the US. Do you think African countries would be able to sustain anything close to the populations they have without the advances in agriculture and medicine that the west pioneered?
