Lately I've been seeing a lot of ignorant comments about European colonialism. All those comments came from white men, unfortunately. Most Europeans got so much indoctrinated to the level that they are hating their own race.
But...
We're not hated for our society's successes, we're hated for the failures of indigenous societies.
For example...
The aboriginal people of Australia had THOUSANDS OF YEARS without Western influence or control, and what did they do with it?
Nothing.
Their two greatest gifts to the world was a type of musical stick that sounds like a fart when you blow into it, and another type of stick that comes back when you throw it.
"Captain Cook was an invader"?
Captain Cook was in the southern hemisphere to observe the transit of Venus.
Meanwhile, aboriginal people were sitting under a palm leaf, dying of hypothermia in a thunderstorm.
