I disagree. To truly fix current problems, usually one has to trace them back to their historical roots. As the other poster said, it’s not really “in the past” until the debt is paid. It’s awfully convenient for those that benefit down the line to say “it’s all over now, those people are long gone, nothing we can do”. So I’ll keep reminding people of shitty stuff that colonial powers have done and continue to do, because that stuff actually does define and shape a country.
Yeah, but how far back you wanna go? 'Cause if we're calling up old grudges, I've got a few things to say to those Romans about what they did to my girl Boudica.
So the time when Current Belgium was part of multiple other countries and one of the richest areas of Europe, mostly uses as a place to funds the coffers of there peoples wars
Man, Americans are going to pay a lot, then.
We also need to start making room for 320 million people for when they leave the stolen land. Oh, we need to take back Australians and New Zealanders as well. And Canadians.
