There is a sentence in Spanish that summarizes pretty well what we must think about that subject:
__Silencio indígena__
Flashman!
Brilliant books, by the way.
Why? Not our fault you weren’t strong enough to defend yourself.
Why should we apologise for spreading civilization. Law, Science , Football. Really shot ourselves in the foot with the last one.
Based flashman
Except Belgium of course 🧤
You’re all terrible people
Edit: I mean the people on this thread.
I don’t know about you guys but I haven’t actually done any colonising? I know the British are suppose to be famous for it but literally no one I know or have spoken to has ever done any either. But I keep hearing we should apologise for it so someone must be out there setting up plantations and butchering little loin cloth wearing spear chuckers 🤷🏼♂️
I don’t know about the others, but we had an authorization from the Pope to enslave and conquer.
You know what? The SJWs have punished us enough, thus we are now free the sin of our fathers. Hurray! Now we can act as unhinged as nationalists of non colonial nations!
Spanish and Portuguese explorers: those guys knew how to fuck.
I’m not going to apologize for ending slavery in most of Africa though.
But hey don’t say it or people will whine that it is false
Literally every single colony of ours have become a shithole, maybe our rule wasn’t that bad after all
I honestly think a lot of western europeans are a bit hypocritical when it comes to our colonial past.
Surely, if we shouldn’t feel any regret about it because current generations didn’t participate in it, we shouldn’t be proud of it either.
The whole Portuguese identity revolves around the fact that we were great explorers and conquistadores because we haven’t done anything relevant since then( besides Cristiano Ronaldo, and he’s not even the best of his generation)
I personally have never been let astray with delusions of grandeur. Empires come, and empires go. But as long as I can have a glass of red wine with a slice of chocolate cream cake, I’m good.

Bro we don’t even apologize for our colonial present
I first read this book when I was a teen. What shocked me the most was the graphic depiction of Flashy with his father’s mistress (from memory).
If Barry and Juan hadn’t invented the United States…
Cope
We were all just horny, haven’t we all done shenanigans while we were horny?
Imperial expansion and colonisation had a long-term benefit. The English wanted more land, we wanted more sheep, and the Scottish wanted more twinks.
Why should we apologise for stopping Africans selling slaves and Indians burning their wives alive?

Enough about our colonial past. Let’s instead discuss our colonial future
