Here's a pro tip from a German: To make everyone forget about your colonial past and the atrocities you commited in your colonies, you just have to commit even bigger atrocities.

Or you just deny it ever happened/was a problem.

Seems to be working out for China.

Nah, European colonialism in China is pretty well remembered.

Well this sure sounds like y'all are up to something new.... That can't be good

A sequel has been long overdue

Es hilft auch, wenn dir alle Kolonien weggenommen werden und der Nachfolger noch schlimmer mit den einheimischen umgeht.

Was war denn im heutigen Namibia nach der deutschen Kolonialzeit schlimmer als der Völkermord an den Herero und Nama?

[-] Ramenator@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Schlimmer ist immer so ne Sache und sehr subjektiv. Das es danach aber immernoch nicht gut war würde ich aber schon behaupten. Namibia würde unter das Mandat Südafrikas gestellt, welches es dann prompt annektierte und dort auch das brutale Apartheid Regime einführte.
Das führte zu einen blutigen jahrzehntelangem Unabhängigkeitskrieg welcher erst 1990 mit der vollständigen Unabhängigkeit aufhörte

Ja, war auch definitiv nicht mein Anliegen, da verschiedenes Leid gegeneinander aufzuwiegen. Wollte eigentlich einer Relativierung à la "die danach waren noch schlimmer, also was solls" vorbeugen. Aber bin wahrscheinlich etwas übers Ziel rausgeschossen und hab das gleiche in die andere Richtung gemacht.

Belgium one made me laugh but the history of it is absolutely depressing.

Historically it's actually the French who have been known for having had much sexual relations with trafficked women.

Even the Spaniard's helmet looks like a bellend

Am I the only one who thinks that at least some resemblance to actual history should be reflected in these memes?

Spanish. Holocaust pales in comparison.

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Why be historically accurate when you can play off of stereotypes?

[-] qyron@lemmy.pt 1 points 1 year ago

Aren't we forgetting about Portugal? The spanish can't hold a candle to the portuguese when it comes to "getting to know" other peoples. In the biblical sense.

[-] Historical_General@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

This is degrading to native women and peoples.

[-] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 1 year ago

Well that explains why all Spanish colonies end up corrupt. They were all "corrupted" early on that colonization period.
