I really feel like this push by Americans to judge everything by their culture-goggles is another form of colonialism tbh

[(Anonymous)]

Do you really want to water down the term colonialism that way? Really?

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT but it doesn't really seem like watering-down to me?

[(Anonymous)]

Please explain to me how internet commentary is comparable to invading, conquering, and exploiting a foreign country for economic gain.

[(Anonymous)]

I am sorry I didn't word it well enough for you. Maybe I used the wrong word but I couldn't think of a better one. I meant it like another piece of it. A symptom. Aspect. It's something that reminds me of that, that greedy pushing and grabbing and making everything theirs because they're so empty and never satisfied. It seems like some other anons understand what I meant.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Probably because it's not just commentary. It's a mentality and insistence that everything outside of America is America and that it needs to be.

I immigrated to America when I was a kid, and there's this mentality here that everything outside of America is some sort of dictatorship or middle ages style monarchy, America is the only country that offers freedom to anyone and everyone needs to either do things the American way under American supervision while doing everything they can to help America at all times, or accept that they're evil and potential enemy of America.

This is so ingrained in society no one even realizes it's there. And for the most part, it is subtle, but it is there. It's really obvious if you didn't come to this country by choice.

This internet commentary is an off shoot of that mentality -that every one else on the planet is just an extension of America and needs to be. Just because no ones invading and annexing other countries physically doesn't mean that there's not a mental and emotional attempt to do so.

well said, anon.

[(Anonymous)]

Summed it up perfectly.

[(Anonymous)]

this. americans think they've got it so good when really they're the ones living in a dystopian, backwards society.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I've seen people complain about Americans by suggesting that they have it too good, they're spoiled, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

Agreed. It's particularly annoying when 'woke' people in my own country decide to start judging everything by US standards, because we totally have the same problems as the US, right?

In the meantime, we still have problems with poverty and racism in ways that are vastly different from the US, but the wokies don't care about that, because it can't be framed in US terms.

[tabaqui]

I agree.

Being lectured by the British about colonialism is hi-fucking-larious.

[(Anonymous)]

Given this whole thread is responding to a secret about British people whose cultures and nations have been the victims of colonialism in, like, very recent memory? And arguably still are?
Yeah, hilarious.
Almost as funny as Americans pretending colonialism is a European thing! Say, how's Hawaii?

[(Anonymous)]

The United Kingdom, as a country, is a historical perpetrator of colonialism, probably the single greatest perpetrator of colonialism

[(Anonymous)]

It certainly is! So it's a good think we're talking about a movie made by British Asian people featuring British Asian and Irish actors, right?

[(Anonymous)]

who made the comments ITT, though?

[(Anonymous)]

Whereas the US is the beacon of freedom and non interference.Yeah riiiight

[(Anonymous)]

Just because one country has a worse history with a certain issue doesn't mean everyone else's bad history magically disappears.
