I Can’t Tell an Iraqi in Good Faith They’re Wrong Here Look At These Definitions
You mean the history books that will never, ever classify the Nazi slaughter in eastern Europe as colonialist, despite the fact that colonialist justification doesn't get more blatantly colonialist than "lebensraum"?
Or do you mean the history books that completely ignore the perfectly blatant fact that the wellsprings of fascism are all "western" (ie, white) countries that have deep histories of colonialist slaughter and exploitation?
Are those the history books you are referring to?
From Wikipedia:
Colonialism is the exploitation of people and of resources by a foreign group.
Lebensbraum means "living space." The Nazis didn't want to exploit the Slavs, they wanted to exterminate and replace them. Not colonialism.
blatant fact that the wellsprings of fascism are all “western” (ie, white) countries that have deep histories of colonialist slaughter and exploitation?
Italians weren't considered white until like 40 years ago and Germany famously didn't manifest any colonial holdings like other European countries.
So yes, please read a book.
Colonialism is the exploitation of people and of resources by a foreign group.
Oh, so what is and isn't colonialism is dictated by which side of a glorified fence the government-funded murderers, torturers and rapists are born on?
Don't you liberals have anything substantial to hide behind?
they wanted to exterminate and replace them. Not colonialism.
So Native Americans weren't victims of colonialism, then?
It doesn't take a lot for you to show your true colors, does it?
Germany famously didn’t manifest any colonial holdings
Oh, so apart from the colonialist slaughter inside the Soviet Union that Germany didn't do (according to you), they also didn't perpetrate bog-standard colonialist genocide against the Herero and Nama in Namibia, eh?
What is next, apologist? The Holocaust was a hoax, perhaps?
