Why have the British never apologized for their unimaginably savage imperialist past?

For that matter has France done so either?

See, this is why I hold the Western European powers in such suspicion. They're so quick to condemn anything the United States does that doesn't fit what they think we should be doing, but they tend to just gloss over and mumble through retellings of their own animalistic history, which is by leaps and bounds far worse than anything America has ever done.

The British uplifted those uncivilised swine. They should be thankful that now their tribal wars are done with guns instead of sharpened sticks.

I think the past few years have proven that the British don't even know what's good for themselves, let alone anybody else.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

So its ok for someone to force his way into your house, rape all your female relatives and kill the male ones, reduce you to the status of a 9th class citizen in your own home.. but it's all cool because he installed in what once was your home a pool, a nice bbq grill, and cleared the brush from the walkway and did exterior renovations?

At what point should white people stop self-flagellating? I thought by now most would've realised even the regretful sobs of a scrawny white british SJW are crocodile tears.

Demanding that we apologise is unnecessary at this point. Yes, empire was certainly bad, but Brexit should be a delicious irony to all those who've suffered under our thumb. We self-sabotaged any opportunity for us to be relevant the moment we voted in favour of "sovereignty"

We live in the West. In the west, when you do something reeeeally fucked up you apologize for it.

Anyways Genghis Khan was like from the Dark Ages and Muhammad never really existed in the first place.

apologies have a shelf life of only 500 years or so.

>giving up power to the EU was good

Really? Britain was gonna be relevant under a corrupt and collapsing union? Britain has a far better chance out than it ever did in. The EU is fucking Europe, not helping it. A union would be great, but the way the EU was actually implemented just fucked up everyone and put the populations at the mercy of these corrupt people that the citizens do not even vote in. And that is what you want in a union, out of touch dictators who aren't answerable to the people they rule over. That always worked so well in the past.
>>
>>2406799
I had no inkling that the EU was so depraved. What are some examples of their corruption?
>>
>>2406802

The Greek economy collapsing, the mandates to flood in refugees and immigrants, covering up the issues of said immigrants, and ignoring the will of the people in Europe as evident by Britain and possibly France leaving.

And that is just a start. The EU was great in theory, but how it was put into practice was atrocious.

Why should the government apologize now? Apologize to who?
>>
>>2407386
No Abolition was due to slavery being unsustainable in the long run, traditional fields slaves were used were falling off and you get more money having a wider consumer base compared to slavery. Slavery was barred in Europe long before it was enabled in other parts of the world.

Slavery had a lot of critics but during that period my prior sentence was being more prevalent because of the shift in the worlds economic systems and political developments.
>>
>Whoa! You guys were even BIGGER dicks than we thought!

Well they're still trying to move past it so who cares 2bh. Similar to how Russians would react to "but the USSR did X", it's not the USSR anymore. UK/France will backtrack when public opinion is against them and give out some token apologies.

As for criticising the actions of others in the PRESENT well no shit. They can actually do something about that, whereas the skeletons in their closets are older than they are.

He's not talking about modern day wage slavery, i.e. working 9 to 5 at a boring desk job. He's referring to 19th century, work till you die, 14 hour days for an income that doesn't even cover your basic living expenses form of wage slavery.

Yeah, you sure know seeing as how you lived back then. The outrage the people had with slavery was largely not a moral thing at all; purely economic right? Look pal every period in history wasn't as indifferent to culture, morality, and art as our contemporary society. Stop bringing your bias into the discussion.
>>
>>2408033
What bias? I'm just stating that slavery could have gone on for much longer but to the people in power it just wasn't worth it at that point. It's not only economic but other factors.

Apartheid could have lasted indefinitely or way way longer if there was no sanction on SA and Soviet intervention and moral outrage really did nothing until Portugal and Rhodesia dropped out.

If you mean the Iraq and Afghan war protests and telling Obama to get fucked when he wasnted to send our troops to Syria hindsight has already proved us right.

Obviously moron.
The Europeans didn't sneak in pleading poverty and call their African hosts racists for complaining when they raped their hideous golliwog women. They marched in set up outposts, and fought off anyone that tried to kick them out, while providing military aid to those that cooperated.

Should litterally every country on earth hold a public apology for every single fucking war it has waged?

Should we also make it, I don't know, a national holiday? A public celebration? Have everyone be dressed in black?

That's because leftists are leftist and the entire goal of leftism is the destruction of western civilization so that it can be replaced with a global "dictatorship of the proletariat", in other words ushering in a future where the black man will hold the whip hand over the white man.

The majority of the people worldwide living off of less than a dollar a day are what color people, white or brown? The dictatorship of the proletariat will be white only if you continue to view the idea of revolutionary leftism through a long obsolete Eurocentric view.
>>
>>2406480
Imperialism perpetrated atrocity after atrocity and no amount of justification will make it any less wrong, but that doesn't mean that anyone needs to apologize, not individuals, not monolithic groups. People are not responsible for the actions of their ancestors. The best anyone can do is focus on events happening in the present day. Obsessing over old hatreds doesn't do anyone any good.
