Why is this a """controversial""" opinion

Flora and fauna
Because it conflicts with the narrative that africa and south america are shitholes because of colonization rather than in spite of it.

Its not, I thought it was essentially accepted knowledge.
Most SJW/Liberals here in the UK that I have known don't actively disrespect the old British Empire since its pro's completely outweigh its Cons.
One did, once, on facebook, it didn't go down well at all.

blacks feel terrible about it so they project their insecurities on to white people who then feel sorry for them, blacks smell weakness and push harder
positive feedback loop

How the hell did Britian help India?
The took all their wealth and that's not debatable. India went from having a 10% of the world wealth to only 1% after Britian was done.

Because people need war. If we dont have some from time to time, we will go nuts. For example thinking that abos should have the same rights like humans.

>India went from having a 10% of the world wealth to only 1% after Britian was done.
It's almost like other parts of the world got much richer much faster during the period of british rule in india.

wealth they were doing what with exactly?
Its dumb.
Colonizers didnt build that shit for the benefit of the random fucks who lived there. They built that stuff for themselves, usually keeping the natives in only the most basic, lowclass jobs. Its only recently that nonwhites hold any positions of power in colonized countries (usually)
Why would a colonizer spend millions on resources and conquering just for the benefit of another group? Makes no sense
>>71922626
India went from having 10% of the world wealth to only 1% because factories became a thing during colonization time
Before factories, having a billion people than everyone else like india and china means your ability to produce wealth is higher because everything has to be done by individuals
With factories this was no longer the case.
If you ~really~ feel like it you could blame colonization on the fact that india didn't get any factories, but thats not what you're implying.
Correlation =/= causation

They didnt
India was a technological superpower but then the British invaded and banned toilets/cemeteries

>For example thinking that abos should have the same rights like humans.
I agree with you germanbro, but here's the problem. We can interbreed. So what about a half-abo half-human? What rights do they get?
Really it's a fucking tragedy that humans can breed with blacks in general. If that were not true, i am pretty confident we could deal with them properly. Ah well, let it burn.

Of course they kept the best shit for themselves. But the fact is that ANY access to infrastructure was a dramatic improvement in quality of life for the natives. Clean water, sanitation, roads, even rudimentary medical care. They had NOTHING before. Certainly nothing as stable as the "most basic, lowclass jobs" you complain about.
>>71922884
the side effects of a ruling elite on the surrounding country are demonstrable though.
Look at haiti.
We literally built their country for them. For no other reason than we were nice guys who wanted to help out our neighbors. Then they said gtfo and it went to complete shit and stayed there for 100 years....
Until they had an earth quake and started bitching for help.

>They had nothing
They had their own way of doing things, they didn't need us and we didn't need them
But no, you just couldn't help yourself, now look at us our nations are falling apart because you couldn't stay out.
Enjoy your decline

No one does things for other people.
I don't start a bakery to provide bread to the community, providing bread to the community is a consequence of me wanting money to buy myself better food.
The fruits of capitalism aren't the intentions of the individuals, they are an emergent phenomena from the collective individualistic behaviours.

The British colonialists didn't alter the way the other people did things, everything was built around the structures that were already there. You've no idea what you're talking about.
