Viewers of pallor will doubtless be entranced by 20-minute episodes titled Colonialism and Privilege, and stern lectures – delivered by the host, Lido Pimienta, and two giant, talking testicles – on just how bigoted and generally awful their collective ancestors were, and how this historical beastliness is, “like, affecting all of us, all of the time, on every level.”
We are not responsible for any of the actions of our ancestors.
All the inhabitants of this planet have ancestors who settled some part of the planet.
Those who wish to make up, or atone, for settling, colonizing, etc. are free to return to the land of their ancestors.
This is totally a government snow job of the ineptitude and corruption that runs rampant in our current society.
To blow this crap up ask why…do they currently use traps and trapping methods developed by Colonialism?
Why do they currently use It’s products and drive its vehicles at all levels from boats and motor vehicles to skidoos???
So badly downtrodden eh?
I lasted 3 sec. on one of the clips…..absolute BS
Who celebrates “warrior culture” more enthusiastically than our “native people?”
Is it just me, or did these brave warriors earn their highly esteemed status by raping, killing and pillaging weaker tribes?
The CBC has sunk to the level of the local Cable channel, only existing to meet the CRTC regulations for irrelevance.
Jim Jones was a nut and I don’t want to drink the Kool aid.. Europeans were nothing special or unique beyond the fact that they crafted tools to do it better than everybody else.. What this has to do with the average European is nothing.. I cant forge a musket or craft a sailing ship.. I don’t have a clue about raising a army or international trade.. No place for servants to sleep in my tiny home.. No idea how to farm or run a large business..
We were and are the peasant class along for the ride.. Just as the people on the other end of colonialism were along for the ride.. Europeans had a technological advantage from being constantly at war with each other.. This war that I call WORLD WAR ZERO spilled out to involve the entire planet.. Either we take it or the Spanish will or the Germans or the Dutch or the French.. While this did come with economic advantage it was more about blocking and denying your enemies back home from getting the upper hand..
Wealth wins wars and mercenaries don’t come cheap..
The people and places taken over were secondary responsibilities.. They were prisoners of war and as such they were often not treated properly in regards to our modern sensibilities.. But then again modern sensibilities is just a tactic to force your modern enemy to fight the war you want to fight.. Understand?.. That the peasants still don’t matter in the grand scheme of things.. War crimes are constraints put around the losers not winners..
Winners don’t have to flatten cities because they already own them.. Winners don’t have to enslave people already in a cadge.. All avenues to topple the status quo are illegal.. isn’t that quaint..
Where’s the fun in that?
Flattening anything that doesn’t follow the government rules of if your not with me, you’re against me mantra.
Physiologically turned your brain to pudding and sucking out its juices…
Oops sorry but I digress back to being a dweeb. Not understanding of getting busted now develops a double-speak language system.
By definition and without exception we are all descendants of conquerors.
Somewhere in our past our tribe survived existential battles with weaker groups. Otherwise we would simply not be here.
In our futile and silly effort to unscramble the egg we inevitably run into an unsolvable problem: How far back in history do we go before we stop counting?
How much should Greek descendants of Spartan lineage be paying in reparations to people of Athenian origin for atrocities committed during the Pelopennesian War?
Show me your math.
This is another fine example of “They really should have left me alone”.
Those seeking to “Improve me” will come to fear that “improvement”.
The proper response to such idiocy,is “I help you real good”..
“Ice fishing starts today..”.
And my defence will always be the same “I didn’t do Nothing”..
“I didn’t see nothing”..
A colonialist from Venezuela is telling us about the evils of colonialism, assisted by two gigantic talking gonads.
What is the officially sanctioned explanation of the differences between colonialism and immigration?
And, when two gigantic talking testicles start explaining things, is that mansplaining or gigantic talking testiclesplaining?
