Grumblers always dismiss Britain's most successful colonies, Canada, United States, Australia, New Zealand etc. They focus only on the ones who self-destructed after independence.

Of course it was a net loss, but well worth it to fix supply chain issues with the tea

IIRC the only profitable colonies were small, like Togo (German empire). The rest were net losses held for strategic reasons in the great game. “Millstones around our neck” (Gladstone)

India didn't really experience true colonalism. The Indian people retained the land and ultimately benefited from it. It would of been way more profitable if the British stayed their and actually colonised the land by replacing Indian people

The hard truth is that India today would of been much cleaner and richer if Europeans replaced them. Lower IQ people trying to replicate societies built by high IQ people leads to devastation for the enviroment and themselves

I'm tired right now...was debating for 3 hours against 2 socialists and 1 blocked me and he/she was the one being degrading to me. Sometimes I just want to give up....but I won't.

At this point when anyone cries "colonialism" my answer as a European descendant is, "you're welcome."

It is impossible for an observer with an IQ of 68 to understand how a group with an avg. IQ of 130 functions. Often, the best logic they can summon is "Hurt them and take their stuff" or "They must be evil" E.g. Rhodesia/Zimbabwe
