  1.  @m.x. yeah sure, inhabitants of the low countries were soooo fond of being ruled over by a Spanish king who was only interested in extracting funds for his wars with England. Civil war? Whahahaha, we kicked your Spanish ass dude, even when Spain was the greatest empire. Yeah it was because of religion (and religious freedom), but also freedom in itself. Whahahaha, does it still hurt?

  5. What an idiotic video. Balkenende wasn’t advocating for colonialism, but for ‘can do’ mentality. Why does the west need to be ashamed of their past? What is that narrative? Cultural revolution Mao style.

  6.  @MisterJasro compound interest? What about the compound interest made in the ottoman empire? The Barbary states? Where’s their compound interest? Western nation’s economy improved after they left their colonies, proving them to be more of a drain than a benefit. You assume things, thats all. By the way, do you also blame young Germans for WWII?
