Here's a pro tip from a German: To make everyone forget about your colonial past and the atrocities you commited in your colonies, you just have to commit even bigger atrocities.

[-] Cybermass@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Or you just deny it ever happened/was a problem.

Seems to be working out for China.

Es hilft auch, wenn dir alle Kolonien weggenommen werden und der Nachfolger noch schlimmer mit den einheimischen umgeht.

Was war denn im heutigen Namibia nach der deutschen Kolonialzeit schlimmer als der Völkermord an den Herero und Nama?

[-] Ramenator@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Schlimmer ist immer so ne Sache und sehr subjektiv. Das es danach aber immernoch nicht gut war würde ich aber schon behaupten. Namibia würde unter das Mandat Südafrikas gestellt, welches es dann prompt annektierte und dort auch das brutale Apartheid Regime einführte.
Das führte zu einen blutigen jahrzehntelangem Unabhängigkeitskrieg welcher erst 1990 mit der vollständigen Unabhängigkeit aufhörte

[-] ValiantDust@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Ja, war auch definitiv nicht mein Anliegen, da verschiedenes Leid gegeneinander aufzuwiegen. Wollte eigentlich einer Relativierung à la "die danach waren noch schlimmer, also was solls" vorbeugen. Aber bin wahrscheinlich etwas übers Ziel rausgeschossen und hab das gleiche in die andere Richtung gemacht.

Well this sure sounds like y'all are up to something new.... That can't be good

[-] OtakuAltair@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

A sequel has been long overdue

[-] UnknownQuantity@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago

Am I the only one who thinks that at least some resemblance to actual history should be reflected in these memes?

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Why be historically accurate when you can play off of stereotypes?

[-] lasagna@programming.dev 30 points 2 years ago

Belgium one made me laugh but the history of it is absolutely depressing.

[-] Banana_Piranha@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'm gonna need sauce for the French...

Been down that rabbit hole in the past. Can confirm.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

What is this? It almost looks kinky

[-] Hype@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately, it's just a one-off.

[-] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I actually wanted the sauce too in the past, but unfortunately there are no video :(

[-] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago

Well that explains why all Spanish colonies end up corrupt. They were all "corrupted" early on that colonization period.

[-] UnknownQuantity@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Maybe you need to read something about Spanish colonisation.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Can you recommend something ? I'm not very literate on the subject myself

[-] Historical_General@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

The primary Spanish sources are pretty explicit about their behaviour, other than the lies about the nature of the natives. They tended to keep meticulous records.

Read about their 300+ years colonization of the Philippines.

[-] arbitrary_sarcasm@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Doesn't this post need the NSFW tag ?

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

I've noticed the nsfw tag being basically ignored/abused

On one meme it'll have the tag and there won't be anything even remotely sexual but then the next meme is a naked girl hiding behind something that just covers her tits and it's not tagged at all

[-] arbitrary_sarcasm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Is there a way for anyone to report it as NSFW ?

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Idk what app your using but on Jerboa you can report a post and type in why you're reporting it.

[-] pacogens@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Well, I don't think this post need a NSFW tag (there is no nudity on it) but if It bothers you to see a woman with little clothing, i'll put the tag.

[-] arbitrary_sarcasm@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I don't mean to be "that guy", but she is basically naked except for a piece of string. But I appreciate that you added the tag anyways

[-] GuitarGeek@waveform.social 8 points 2 years ago

Brb omw to Spain and their colonies

[-] Midnitte@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

Just be sure to get your smallpox vaccine..

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Even the Spaniard's helmet looks like a bellend

[-] SexyPolariton@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
[-] Historical_General@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Historically it's actually the French who have been known for having had much sexual relations with trafficked women.

[-] Historical_General@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

This is degrading to native women and peoples.

[-] Fantomas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Wtf? I'm subbed to hisyorymemes now?

[-] MartinXYZ@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Nah, you're probably just browsing ALL...?

[-] Fantomas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The idea of my comment was that this post was so good that I, someone with no prior interest in history memes, immediately had to subscribe. Clearly this was not effectively communicated on my part.
