- Really you dont think that british colonialism was oppressive or violent tyranny? goodness that's a different point of view. Factually inaccurate in so many ways.

- Remember, traditional british values come wrapped in a heavy coat of colonialism.
- Colonialism is the bedrock of uk's superiority complex, & prevents it being an equal partner in any union.

La discusión se extiende a la cuestión de las reparaciones por los daños causados por el colonialismo y si las generaciones actuales deben asumir la responsabilidad por las acciones de sus antepasados.
- Uk’s foreign commonwealth & development office is rooted in elitism and colonial past. “former colonies are making…vocal demands around the need for reparations from colonialism & compensation for the loss and damage arising from historical industrial emissions.”.
- I often criticise the uk over colonial history, but only due to my personal familiarity (i live here, my ancestors were colonised by britain etc). I actually deeply appreciate that we have a loud discourse about colonialism here.
- You're right, however it doesn't absolve the uk of 400 years of colonialism during which your country committed unspeakable acts of cruelty. Where do you think the us learned cruelty and colonialism? from you.
