@mapto anybody in other imperialist countries with similar plans? #JustAsking
@mapto what about the looting in the preceding centuries, on which the 21st century is built? The present human-rights-spouting world order hasn't come for free, and definitely hasn't paid for it itself.
@tetrislife sorry, didn't realise you're asking for "similar plans" from a couple of centuries ago, my bad
@mapto nice interpretation. But actually, forgetting yesterday is unacceptable; or would you be fine with Putin spouting democracy the day after the Ukraine conflict ceases? Imperialism has to be acknowleged, apologized and compensated for; the same way the West expects Russia to.
@tetrislife tell me also about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism . Because people are being killed because of someone's ill ambitions both in Russia and Ukraine as we speak
@mapto yeah yeah, asking about past imperialism is whataboutism. And what is avoiding talking about past imperialism? Denial?
@tetrislife Give me a list of countries annexing territories in the 21st century and we can start looking into each case separately
