Ignorance and Indoctrination of Westerners Kills Millions

[polly7]

This “culture” had already mercilessly slaughtered several hundreds of millions of people in all corners of the world; it enslaved entire continents, and plundered all that had any value, whether it was located above or under the surface of earth.

Inhabitants of Europe, the United States, as well as rulers of the client states, showed chilling indifference towards the suffering of their victims.

They also demonstrated utmost ignorance and the highest level of indoctrination!

For centuries, citizens of France, United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and other Western nations were staring at the battle ships leaving their shores, sailing towards Asia, Latin America and Africa … Mouths open wide; they were pretending that they did not really know what horrors these ships were going to spread. When the ships returned, packed with slaves and unimaginable booty, they shut down their brains, claimed ignorance once again, attributing thriving of their cities and states to some “Western ingenuity, enterprising spirit and hard work,” but definitely not to terror, rape and appalling plunder of the world.

What Germans did, gazing at the chimneys of the concentration camps that were regurgitating thick smoke of the victims of Holocaust and then claiming that “they did not know”, was exactly what all Europeans did for centuries and millennia, when their troops and “investments” into all sorts of Crusades, were looting and brutalizing everyone on the surface of our Planet.

Throughout the history, holocausts have been performed, again and again, all over Africa, in the Middle East, in Latin America, Caribbean, sub-Continent, and Asia Pacific, even in Oceania.

2. We certainly made everything a LOT worse.

This excerpt here, especially the words "Then the British drew a line", is a very concise summary of the essence of colonialism. As in India, in Africa also, and the Middle East. The national boundaries in the Middle East were drawn by two colonial powers, Britain and France. The boundaries were drawn for the convenience of imperialists, and were drawn irrespective of tribal, linguistic, or historical facts. The consequences of this colonial interference are still motivating actors today. Or rather on 13 November, 2015, in Paris.

I try to imagine what all those nations we've interfered with and destroyed would have been like if we'd left them alone. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya ......... and so many others at one time had social structures that allowed 'normal life' as we define it. Women dressed as they pleased, worked in important occupations - Iraqi women had equal pay - what have they now??? Not sure how anyone can claim we haven't laid waste to whatever progress they WERE making - even as we watch Saudi Arabia's brutality against anyone even trying to fight for human rights and who are our 'important ally' in the region. The hypocrisy is stunning. And millions die and die fleeing in those nations we're destroyed. Yes, we have fucked up many, many places all around the world.
