Examples I point to are as follows -
The Zulu nation was happily destroying not only all of it’s neighbors, but many of their own people as the leadership happened to be certifiably insane. Shaka for example had a small penis (actually historically accurate) and killed thousands of people because of it. The zulu empire was actually not the bad one as the Matabele under Mzilikali after his loss to the zulu, took his tribe and conducted a scorched earth campaign across the lower section of africa destroying all in his path.
Lets not forget the laughable Xhosa girl Nongqawuse who said she saw visions that if everybody killed off their cattle and burned their fields the dead spirits of their ancestors would grant not only tenfold cattle in return, but destruction of the new white Anglo/Boer civilization in the southern cape. Needless to say after they slaughtered and burned everything no ancestors were forthcoming and 25 thousand of the Xhosa tribe died.
The tribes of africa were largely barbaric and vicious groups of people who really only understood killing for the most part. There were exceptions to the rule as there always are, the hottentots, and various smaller tribes, but for the most part african culture was set up to destroy other cultures to begin with.
I’m not going to say that they are better off having been colonized by the europeans, but the alternative was pretty vicious as well.

This is worth keeping in mind Huey. In America or Western Europe, what exactly is the difference between calling yourself a “communist” and calling yourself a liberal? You buy the same products, participate in the same protest movements…..like if this was Berlin in the 20s and we were riding around with tommy guns and such then sure, slay the false prophets
But this difference of terminology is surely just aesthetic, it doesn’t materially affect anything.
getfiscal posted:i get what huey means. like here people will all gather for occupy and be like hey man i'm a socialist i watch every episode of the daily show, we totally need to get rid of student debt and legalize marijuana, and you have to grin and be like you're the hope of my generation or whatever. in china you try to occupy and they pour the blood of a few hundo people onto the streets.
I saw some pictures of a provincial riot against government corruption recently, people sacking and burning city offices and stuff. Compare that to Occupy, China clearly has a stronger culture of dissent and public complaint than America.

Sure, but passionate liberals don't believe you should do nothing either

Hmmm, well there's only one way to find out. we should see if spike TV's Deadliest Warrior will host a show that sees who is the most genocidal.

I think it was probably about 2010 when we passed the point that homosexuality stopped being a handicap and actually became a net asset, in post-industrial urban societies at least.

but it is a question of aesthetics. communist thought leads to nihilism which leads to being a better huMan being is a genuine way. liberal thought leads off on Totes Lame paths in perpetuity and you grow up and end up being a 60 year old liberal fag, meanwhile the commies moved on to bigger and better things. individualists. ayn rand.
