Compared to who?

Most empires did it, Europe mastered and industrialized it, that was their genius.

Can you think of many other colonizers who build railroads, roads and banned extrajudicial killings?

This is an example of someone believing the propaganda they're taught in public schools without ever fact-checking real historical sources to confirm it. I graduated 17 years ago and there's damage I'm still trying to undo.

Hmmmm, stealing logic and reason from the Greeks. The Heliocentric model. Oh wait, the theory of gravity. The Western world had to kidnap Newton and enslave him for that one. *Sigh* this crap is getting old

The entertainment provided here by the post-colonials is just priceless. It was a highlight of my day. You Indians are da bomb.

I never get why, europeans would have stolen everything from other countries and those countries would instantaneoulsy turn into shit... South Korea was a shithole after WWII, look where they are now...seriously, those guys should really start doing their introspections...

You have 1 of 2 thoughts on this; you either see the victor as a conqueror and everything is unfair- usually believed by perceived losers. The 2nd is you see one progressed and the other regressed out of spite, rebellion, whatever. The truth is the proof is always in the pudding.

And the spoils belong to the victor.

I would recommend this guy read 'Civilization: The West and the Rest' by Niall Ferguson. His six 'killer apps' were what the west developed to rise above the rest so much.

The question is, if Europe learnt all from others and stole all from others? How come the others were so lousy? Why hadn’t they prospered while they had it all for themselves?

Isaac Newton stole what? The narrative that Europeans stole everything is beyond laughable and encourages all kinds of useless intellectual laziness in those that have fallen for it.

What stopped you from exploring your "knowledge"? Sub-Saharan territories did not even invent the wheel. And today it’s East Asia going forward not wasting time bitching but progressing.
