TIL that in 1833 Britain used 40% of its national budget to free all slaves in the Empire : todayilearned

also it was probably staged anyway

Yeah, calling this attitude "liberal" is like calling the GOP "conservative".

Speaking on slaver girlbosses, Brazilian BIPOCcels are now whitewashing Ginga, the Angolan kween who fought the Tugas and who was herself a slaver selling slaves to the tugas themselves, into some progressive feminist icon. The historian from Maringa, Laurentino Gomes is an example, even though he wrote accurately who Ginga was he still bowed to wokies by saying how important those myths are and compared the "legacy" of Ginga as some brave and stunning kween against that of Catherine of Brangaça who get's cancelled because she owned some shares in some slave company.

!macacos !historychads I hate Brazilian woketards so much is unreal.

I give it 10 years til we get a Narcos: Girlboss edition

Carp would like that

Narcos girl boss edition already exists

Griselda or something like that

/r/stupidpol is like /r/MensRight: either the users eventually accept wokeism but with full communist economic policies (i.e. arakiddies) or just go full tankie (i.e. anti-West identity politics)

>If you really loved me you'd kill them all

Thats a L, we need to go back foid

Nobody in India is going around hating the British for ending wife burning.

We have a 100 other legitimate grievances to despise them for.

It's not just that though because there were tons of empires during the age where the british empire was around, most of them were equally powerful or at times more so, and they were all without exception vastly more evil than the british empire was, sometimes to almost cartoonish extremes (if you wrote a character in a movie that did the shit belgian empire did, people would consider it too evil to be believable)

Yet no one ever rags on them for any of that. There's something specifically anti-british going on that I assume is some holdover from american seethe about independence

It's not even good marxist critique

Shooting someone in the process of murdering another innocent person is a legitimate use of state power

Marx was pro British Empire. Historical materialism requires capitalist powers to spread capitalism to feudal and pre-feudal societies.

The irony is that they were pretty close to actually solving it, all they (or someone else, e.g. the UN) would've needed to do is to enforce the Partition before leaving, and maintain it for a decade or so. The Arabs (as in the Arab states, not the Pallys) might still have invaded and lost, but at least the status quo ante bellum would've been an established 2-state solution that could serve as a basis for negotiations, instead of the "we didn't want it when we thought we could kill you all but we want it now that you've kicked our asses" position of the Arabs today.

The only thing Muslims understand is violent repression, they can't deal with self-governance, so you have to approach every issue involving them from that angle. You can't treat them as tan Swedes and expect them to knuckle under, even when it's obviously the right choice.

They didn't have nukes

"... he now holds a special place in the Guinness Book of Frickin' R-slurs." -

Is that Michelob Ultra Light?

Slavery was not abolished in Brazil until Lula led the working class to rise up against right wing dictators and neocolonialism from the west

Much later than that, US still had time to joined the patrols and they only did so after civil war.

Slave smuggling only truly stopped when Britain and other Imperialist powers went after the suppliers
