Colonialism was good

It gave all these countries instant technological advancements. So many poor countries can only wish they were colonized. They’d be 10x richer today if they had been.

Every minority living in the USA is the beneficiary of colonialism. The black man, the Latino, the asiatic--all have benefited from the technology and the life of ease and comfort because of colonialism. Sure, us white people were at times difficult, and we used and abused minorities in years past. But on balance, the minority in America is in a much better position than had he stayed in the motherland.


Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines, all are byproducts of colonialism, and they all are advanced societies in their own right. If asked to choose, they would state with absolute confidence that they are glad that the white man lorded over him in the past, because that's how they acquired the greatest technology transfer in history--is thru colonialism.

100% agreed. Back then everyone tried to abuse each other. Now it's basically only white countries that have outlawed that abuse

Japan is a pretty big hole in this theory. Colonialism mostly built whatever helped them extract resources and keep control.

Umm Japan proves my point. Japan is now a fucking fantastic country. You’re welcome Japan

It didn’t help them, it held them back

Strongly disagree
