Comments by "HIFLY" (@HIFLY01) on "One of history's most dangerous myths - Anneliese Mehnert" video.
The world would be centuries behind in everything if not for colonialism. Think of if Romans never left Rome. Greeks necer left Greece. Vikings never left Norway. Spaniards never left Spain. Almost anyone alice today wouldn't exist. We wouldn't have current technologies we have today. We wouldn't be here to give every civilization these modern day moarl judgements. You can feel bad but if you could really undo it, would you? Would you set humanity back 1000s of years because you think its the right thing to do? Give up yours and your loved ones life so some tribe lost to time will live another day? If you would you must live a miserable life. These videos always give off the same thing: "whity bad" and its the same thing this video talks about but on the other side. It'll just be a circle of oppression and fighting all because one side thinks they're right. What happened happened before our time. South Africa is one of the better countries on the African continent. The people of the nation wouldn't give up everything colonists gave them because they know they would be behind. You shouldn't be blamed for something you had no control over.

@Dimitris_Half you gave the same response a lot of people have when they hear about something that had nothing to do with them and are expected to feel bad. "so?" sums it up perfectly

@drenzine if the Western hemisphere wasn't colonized, half the technology you have today wouldn't exist, Europe would probably be ruled by Nazis, you probably wouldn't have been born, etc
