These colonial worshipping kids have been kneeling so long that they’ve forgotten how to stand.
Their beloved ‘prime minister’ Churchill has quotes that wouldn’t feel out of place in Hitler’s collection:
“I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion”
[the Pashuns] needs to “recognise the superiority of race”
“I hate people with slit eyes and pigtails. I don’t like the look of them or the smell of them — but I suppose it does no great harm to have a look at them.”
We shall have to take the Chinese in hand and regulate them… as civilised nations become more powerful they will get more ruthless, and the time will come when the world will impatiently bear the existence of great barbaric nations who may at any time arm themselves and menace civilized nations. I believe in the ultimate partition of China—I mean ultimate. I hope we shall not have to do it in our day. The Aryan stock is bound to triumph.
The last one still rings true with the “just the government not the people” libs nowadays.
The last one is utterly jaw-dropping, not necessarily because I’m surprised Churchill said it, but how this sentiment has hardly suffered a dent in the contemporary “western” zeitgeist.
Replace a few words, trade “Aryan” for “European”, “civilized” for “developed”, and “barbaric” for “authoritarian”… boom, you’ve got a chart-topping WaPo OpEd.

the west is the one that’s done all that and keeps doing it.
Reminds me of how white Americans say they “don’t want to be a minority in their own country.” It’s guilty projection. They just assume anyone in their position would act as beastly as they have.
that is very interesting, the though that they internalized that though so much thay they are afraid other people are like then.
i saw a person saying once that most west science fiction is about alien invasion, beings from far away with technology beyond our comprehension to massacre us to steal our resources, they project themselves into their stories, the colonizing monster.
while soviet scifi the aliens are communists, they surpassed many contradictions from their society, them they go roaming the universe help other races in surpassing those contradictions.
good to find a like minded person, i was just thinking something like that, that democracy x authoritarian is just rebranded colonial thinking, you paint a target in a country to justify intervening in it

it’s also pure 100% undiluted projection.

All i could think of reading that section was

Yep. The guilt is buried deep but it festers and finds its way back to the surface.

After some scrathing you can also quite often hear the three previous too, maybe except the pigtails part.
