The audacity of white people coming in and telling us "hey actually these guys over there who we conveniently hate are actually colonizing you", like bruh we know what colonialism is fuck off.

Manifold blessings on President Lourenço for saying it; not that the crackers who need to hear it most (the settlers who gasp and pearl-clutch about 'debt-trapping' while gleefully IMF-ing Afrikan nations to their deaths) will recognize or even listen to his take.

At least every day brings the settler world closer and closer to irrelevance.

liberals use the term colonialism to describe chinas relations with africa and really think they’re progressive

Liberals will tell you with a straight face that China is colonizing Hong Kong.

the situation with Hong Kong is the funniest shit because... that's literally just a Chinese city what the fuck do you mean

at the same time deflecting actual colonial past by sweeping it under the rug or washing it as civilizatory missions.

Yeah, but have you considered that we're WHITE. That means that we know better than you, sweaty. Now shush and start hating on China and keep falling into our IMF debt traps like a good colony.

Let me explain the “rules based world order” to you tiny brained turd worlders!

⚪️ = Good

🟡 = Okay but only if they’re a semi-colony like Japan or “South Korea”.

🟤 [Anything not white] = Bad
