This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That’s what I said.

Even if they are “colonizing”, they’re doing a far better and more equitable job of it than the Western world’s treating them like peasantry to be exploited.

I don't think there's any such thing as a good approach to colonization

I didn’t say it was good. I said it was better than the despot-creating tactics the Western world has been using for more than a century. You do understand that it can be better than before but not a good thing overall at the same time, right?
