Here's a pro tip from a German: To make everyone forget about your colonial past and the atrocities you commited in your colonies, you just have to commit even bigger atrocities.
Es hilft auch, wenn dir alle Kolonien weggenommen werden und der Nachfolger noch schlimmer mit den einheimischen umgeht.
Was war denn im heutigen Namibia nach der deutschen Kolonialzeit schlimmer als der Völkermord an den Herero und Nama?
Schlimmer ist immer so ne Sache und sehr subjektiv. Das es danach aber immernoch nicht gut war würde ich aber schon behaupten. Namibia würde unter das Mandat Südafrikas gestellt, welches es dann prompt annektierte und dort auch das brutale Apartheid Regime einführte.
Das führte zu einen blutigen jahrzehntelangem Unabhängigkeitskrieg welcher erst 1990 mit der vollständigen Unabhängigkeit aufhörte
Ja, war auch definitiv nicht mein Anliegen, da verschiedenes Leid gegeneinander aufzuwiegen. Wollte eigentlich einer Relativierung à la "die danach waren noch schlimmer, also was solls" vorbeugen. Aber bin wahrscheinlich etwas übers Ziel rausgeschossen und hab das gleiche in die andere Richtung gemacht.
Am I the only one who thinks that at least some resemblance to actual history should be reflected in these memes?
Yeah, that makes it ok for the Belgians to have dine it, too! Because clearly "they did it to each other first" is all you need for justifying your horrible crimes against humanity!
Because this is definitely not the fastest way to get history to repeat itself ..... Dipshit.
Sad to say the sauce isn't what you'd expect: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/forced-to-drink-milk
I've noticed the nsfw tag being basically ignored/abused
On one meme it'll have the tag and there won't be anything even remotely sexual but then the next meme is a naked girl hiding behind something that just covers her tits and it's not tagged at all
Idk what app your using but on Jerboa you can report a post and type in why you're reporting it.
Well, I don't think this post need a NSFW tag (there is no nudity on it) but if It bothers you to see a woman with little clothing, i'll put the tag.
I don't mean to be "that guy", but she is basically naked except for a piece of string. But I appreciate that you added the tag anyways
Historically it's actually the French who have been known for having had much sexual relations with trafficked women.
Aren't we forgetting about Portugal? The spanish can't hold a candle to the portuguese when it comes to "getting to know" other peoples. In the biblical sense.
Well that explains why all Spanish colonies end up corrupt. They were all "corrupted" early on that colonization period.
The primary Spanish sources are pretty explicit about their behaviour, other than the lies about the nature of the natives. They tended to keep meticulous records.
Something Pierce from Community would say, and then he'd add "What?" and be confused about why what he said was racist.
The idea of my comment was that this post was so good that I, someone with no prior interest in history memes, immediately had to subscribe. Clearly this was not effectively communicated on my part.
No, I think you're good. I was just late in the evening here when I replied, so I was a bit tired and didn't catch the true meaning of your comment.
Edit: Also, is your username a reference to the band Fantomas?
