Examining Colonialism

[Arch Dornan]

People don't learn from history they learn the ultimate final lessons at the reciving end of a sword or a rifel right before the weilder uses it and by then it's too late. For some reason it takes generations for peole tp realize there life is cheap before they decide to actualy do somthing about it, and within a generation or two people forget the hsrd lessons of what happened before and become nostalgic for a past that never existed. Africa can't prosper if we keep trying to safe it from itself. Heck I'm not at all convinced we can't even save ourselves should america decide to collapse, it will most not be an homognous ethnostate, but rather a bunch of fractured substates like it was in the early industrial era prior to WW1

If only space travel can happen faster then our descendants can just migrate like they usually do and go plant their flag and say this here planet is our shit and all the fun that follows.

A low IQ people that for most of history were basically living in mud holes reverted back to that state when a higher IQ more advanced people left? Imagine my shock.

Really???

You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.

I mean, in Ethiopia they were debating the fine details of how Christ's humanity relates to His Divinity, while the guy you were replying to's ancestors were committing human sacrifices in the hope that Odin would notice them and give them victory in some pointless raid on a tribe in the next valley over.

Problem then comes with interstellar empires and conquest, possibly because people can’t figure out how to maximize or use all the resources of a single planet

Like seriously, dig deeper down to earth’s core and use its geothermal energy for all sorts of stuff, it will last long after the sun dies out

Why do you think I said all the fun that follows?

Pretty much. Before there was a Roman Catholic Church there was the Church of Ethiopia. Which existed from 1 year of Christs resurrection until today.

Ironically, USA could be interested, just like in many such cases the colonizers were, for geostrategic reasons (Middle East, Hezbollah central, do the math), but again, the legalities and politics would be incredibly nasty on the US side, and its also telling that this call was not extended to the USA.

The USA has a few colonies under the legal classification of US territories. They sometimes bring up a vote to take up statehood, but it usually fails because the colonies do not want the extra responsibilities that would entail.
