Colonialism is Philanthropy Actually
I feel like I could write an essay on this but ...
Half my family is English and can trace their ancestors way back to those savages painting themselves blue. I sometimes refer to Stone Henge as "The Temu Coliseum" because, yes English people take pride in it but it's rather embarrassing compared to what the Romans accomplished isn't it? Yea I know it predates it by a few thousand years but the Pre-English hadn't exactly accomplished much after that either..
Until Hadrian... A Roman Emperor, came along and started civilizing us through... Oh that dirty word "Colonialism".
And thanks to Roman Colonialism the English went from naked blue savages to became one of the most powerful countries in the world.
Colonialism was (and I agree IS) a form of Philanthropy. It introduced people suffering in barbarism to the wonders of civilization. It improves quality of life and empowers them. Heck the Goths destroyed Rome using the weapons and techniques that Rome had introduced to them!
Frankly, all wed have to do for large portions of Countries that hate us to completely vanish into the stone age is just withdraw all support. You know we freaking provide aid to Pakistan? Uhg. Look what happened to Afghanistan when we pulled out? Left alone, In a few more years they'll be flinting obsidian arrow heads again 😂
But look- even suggesting that sounds cruel and callous doesn't it? Even the Leftists who are constantly bashing "colonialism" would accuse me of racism for withdrawing colonial support. So the left still supports colonialism they just prefer to call it Philanthropy and they still see it as "White Mans Burden" or rather... obligation.
This is why I support canceling USAID.
A lot of people think Kipling was supporting Colonialism in this poem but it's actually very clearly sarcastic. Read it as Sarcasm and everything makes sense. Why help people who hate us for it?
And i shouldn't have to give this disclaimer given my statement about my Savage Celtic Ancestors above but...no this isn't about Racial Superiority. It's about Cultural Superiority. But if the barbarians don't want to be civilized, let's learn from Romes mistakes and NOT HELP THEM DESTROY US

Take up the White Man's burden—
Send forth the best ye breed—
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild—
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
2
Take up the White Man's burden—
In patience to abide
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit,
And work another's gain.
3
Take up the White Man's burden—
The savage wars of peace—
Fill full the mouth of famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch Sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to nought.
4
Take up the White Man's burden—
No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper—
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living,
And mark them with your dead!
5
Take up the White Man's burden—
And reap his old reward,
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard—
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah slowly!) toward the light—
"Why brought ye us from bondage,
"Our loved Egyptian night?"
6
Take up the White Man's burden—
Ye dare not stoop to less—
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your Gods and you.
7
Take up the White Man's burden—
Have done with childish days—
The lightly proffered laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgement of your peers.
