lmao. Sub-pseudoscience.
Yeah, like people born in former colonies benefiting from 90% of their technology, infrastructure and wealth being created by their former colonial powers.
There's no such thing as "generational trauma" or "structural inequalities". My great Grandfather fought in WW2. I don't inherit his trauma in any way whatsoever. The complete opposite, I benefit enormously from his trauma and experiences.
What does that have to do with today? India has been free for 75 years and was increasingly free towards the backend of colonialism. Did Britain take all that infrastructure with them? Almost nobody living in India today experienced colonialism, they only experience the after-effects, which are more positive than negative.
Which is why India is a Parliamentary democracy today. And not a dictatorship or a Muslim Caliphate. India had a LOT of independence and self-governance under colonialism. Britain didn't rule with an iron fist, far from it. That isn't how British colonialism functioned. For example, when Britain decided it wanted to end slavery, most of its colonies, including India, didn't. And it was a major problem, Britain couldn't simply decree the end of slavery on countries who wanted to keep it. When Britain outlawed slavery in 1833 across its colonies, it excluded large parts of India.
Vague, abstract nonsense. Like the rest of your post.
Pointing out blatant hypocrisy isn't that.
post-colonial states had developed their own institutions, economies, and technologies since their independence. Moreover, the initial intent behind much of the colonial-era infrastructure was to serve the interests of the colonizers, often at the expense of the local population.
this is contrary to a significant body of research across various disciplines—including psychology, sociology, and history—that acknowledges the existence and the impacts of both generational trauma and structural inequalities. Generational trauma can be transferred from one generation to another through learned behavior, societal structures, and cultural narratives. Structural inequalities arise from systemic disadvantages embedded in social institutions, which can perpetuate the socio-economic hierarchies established during colonization.
anecdote
the mere lapse of time since India’s independence does not erase the long-term consequences of colonial rule. Furthermore, the premise that the after-effects are 'more positive than negative' is subjective and contentious. It is essential to consider the breadth of opinions, historical evidence, and scholarly research on the impacts of colonial rule, which document both the advancement and the long-lasting adverse effects on conquered societies.
this outcome is primarily a result of India's own leaders and independence movement pushing for democratic governance. Indian self-governance under colonial rule was significantly restricted. The British did introduce certain representative elements, but overall control remained with the British Crown until independence.
this is a misleading version of history. In India, for example, the system that can most closely be related to slavery was perhaps the caste system but these systems were not characterized by chattel slavery as known in the Atlantic slave trade. Moreover, the British had economic and political motivations for abolishing slavery and did so in a way that suited their broader strategic interests. also slavery still exists just un more insidious ways in britain
sieg heil, the west has fallen, the uk is a wasteland and your women are kissing niggers and curries boots, you will never recover from this.
