It is if you gloss over all the imperialist crimes as if those were just some mistakes from the past irrelevant to today.

Let's not do that then.

Well you did ("there are unfortunately still countries which have not developed mature Modern institutions" = "too bad, their fault").
-
Love the =. We said nothing at all about whose fault it was.
-
That's exactly the problem.

Well, sorry about that but if you want an essay on imperialism and it's aftermath, you can always write one? This one abt something else.

Yes, I'm sure only lunatic-fringe social justice warriors complain about such missing context. Sorry about that.

What about e.g. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan? What if they have no direct path to liberal democracy, and encouraging it leads to chaos?
