@PermaChudRanch's comment on 'TIL that in 1833 Britain used 40% of its national budget to free all slaves in the Empire : todayilearned'

!britbongs look at the utter ingratitude of these colonials

Paying slave-owners to give up their "property" is clearly worse than saying they get nothing and doing all the rest.

You are right they should have instead continued slavery for a further 60 years, allowed slaves to be continued to be exported from Africa then had a massive civil war over it getting about 700,000 people killed.

Well it would have been more dramatic that way, yes.

How about they try to end the Israel vs. Palestine conflict they caused.

Fun fact: Israel has no right to exist because it should still be the British Mandate of Palestine.

Crazy how many of the "oppressed" countries continue with slavery even without the option to sell to the Brits

You use oppressed in quotation marks and in the same sentence confirm slavery is ongoing in these countries. We still have to call people stupid here.

POC enslaving each other is wypipo's fault :dasrite:

not baller. imperialism is never baller no matter how you try to disguise its intentions. remember, the British always have some other kind of angle — empires never do anything out of kindness.

This is one of the few examples of an empire doing something out of pure altruism. Britain felt like it was their duty to abolish slavery even though that didn't benefit them and cost them and unimaginable some of money. This is a unicorn in terms of imperial actions, there was no gain and a lot of loss and they did it anyway.

:marseyangel:

Instead of buying their freedom you could've just...ya know...freed them.

Edit: You people down voting do realize that you're advocating for compensating slave owners with British tax dollars.

:brainletchest: British tax dollars

Angry Sexy Indian dudes

The British had slaves in Indian until the beginning of the 20th century though.

They like to use the words like "indentured servitude", but it's the same kind of shit

Its very much different. Indentured servant is voluntary. It is essentially a contract to work for a set amount of time (5 years) in exchange for something.

Yet kept indians enslaved until 1947

There is a reason ghandi always spoke highly of British rule in general, his problem was less with the rule and more with the fact indians were not the ones doing it, fair enough obviously, his objection was imperialism rather than the system.

You talk to people as if they must be unaware, i know you are referring to the fixed labour contracts unique to the indians, which is essentially akin to indentured servitude but pretending the numbers of people involved in that which is not really slavery (you can pretend this is universally agreed by historian's if you really want) is the same as it continuing slavery is disingenuous and also pretending this was remotely relevant in 1947 is also disingenuous.

I made a poem for u: Double BIPOC gigaBIPOC BIPOC snow BIPOC jewish chad cracker honkey hard-working American jew, BIPOC BIPOC sexy Indian dude injun BIPOC can't forget chinks too

one of the worst things about the reddit age is making an analogy and someone going "STRAWMAN" like yeah neighbor it's an invented comparison for people who can imagine not eating breakfast this morning

The bongs didn't build that much infrastructure, just enough to extract resources, like the hypothetical chink trains

None of this not that simple, yeah they forcefully modernized society which included some objectively good things like not burning women (idk I take that back, maybe good) but they didn't modernize it much, and India was still a shithole when they left, and maybe made worse. Wages dropped during the British period and famines increased.

This is like when the Arabs go "bbbut us conquering part of Europe was good because we actually preserved and advanced culture while Europe was in a dark age" (which is a myth) Like they may have done some good, but them staying put would have been better. In the analogy, maybe chingchongs building a high-speed rail system throughout North America would be beneficial, but I don't think anyone would take that trade

Gommunisim

Marx pointed to the constructive role of British rule in India, on the grounds that India needed some radical re-examination and self-scrutiny.

idk guess Marx agreed w you

Southerners shit their pants about reconstruction and that was essentially the same fricking ethnic group as them doing it. Imagine it it was victorious frogs or sexy Indian dudes, they'd never let it go
