      Not really, someone was saying these were uniquely western behaviors. Unfortunately they aren’t. It’s more so a recognition of reality as it is than a denial or diminishing of anything. To argue it is a western only thing would be diminishing the atrocities not committed by western powers.

          I am paraphrasing, no one wrote it like that letter for letter but read around. There are more than a few moments of people arguing it’s a western specific thing. That nothing like this happened before western countries started colonialism or western expansion.

            Lol. So you’re responding to a vibe you got. Good work dude, you sure showed that vague feeling you manifested what’s what.

                Paraphrasing is when you shorten a person’s statement in order to simplify it. Literally nobody said what your “paraphrasing”, so you’re literally just making shit up. Hope I helped clear that up for you.
