World News@lemmy.world•France's Macron urges calm after far-right activist fatally beatenEnglish
26·30 days agoThe amount of people praising murder on the streets of France in this thread is shocking. France is not living under the Reich, murder has no excuses and it’s also incredibly self-defeating for the far-left.

World News@lemmy.world•Europe condemns Trump’s ‘new colonialism’ as Greenland crisis growsEnglish
1·2 months agovia colonial legacy institutions and the so called international ruled based order which was designed to maintain Western hegemony.
I don’t think that was the main motivation for the current international rules order, but then you should be happy to know that Putin and Trump are breaking them all and trying to bring good old colonialism back.
Also interestingly the far left and the greens today at the European Parliament aligned themselves with the far right (German AfD etc) to sabotage the deal with Mercosur, a deal that would allow Global South countries to trade on an equal stand with Europe. So, sorry for not taking very seriously the people always talking about European colonization, it often just hides eurocentrism and unresolved superiority complexes… When it’s time for action they don’t hesitate to find lame excuses to join forces with racist nationalists that want a Europe Fortress.

World News@lemmy.world•Europe condemns Trump’s ‘new colonialism’ as Greenland crisis growsEnglish
1·2 months agoEuropean colonization of Africa failed and it’s over. Arab colonization succeed. History is written by winners, so people forget the Arabs were colonizers before the Europeans… funny ah?
Except for France and Russia, no European country has any relevant role in Africa these days. China has a huge one. China a “Global South” country, so a victim? Effectively colonizing islands left and right in the Asian seas…
I’m not denying history, but currently a bit more worried with the present. This obsession with XIX century colonization when there’s old style colonization happening right now, from Ukraine to Armenia, South Sudan, Philippines… and then new economical colonization all over Africa by China… .
Time to drop the eurocentrism, we’re not the center of the world anymore and since a long time.

1·2 months agoIf you think colonization is a European exclusive you’re wasting your time with me. Europe is a shadow of its past. China is the new colonizing force.
I’m honestly fed up of that anti-European and simultaneously insanely eurocentric perspective. The struggle for power is nothing new nor racially exclusive. Democracy and rule of law are the relatively rare concepts, of which Europe has been among the best examples for the past decades.
This narrative of guilty peoples, special races is honestly sickening and much closer to the far right views than to the universal values we should seek.
Dead tired of that BS.

15·2 months agoOh you’re one of those. Are you talking about the same Global South of which China is a supposed part of it? Get real pal… you need more history and above all more critical thinking, and ideally up to date to the times you’re living on.
PS: but I guess asking for critical thinking to someone with “commie” on the name is asking too much…

23·2 months agoYou’re 100% right, a big part of the left is stuck in 1917. They think Russia is a revolutionary force, Europe is a colonial world power, and the Jews are evil… it’s tiring as hell to be a lefty when this is the level of most online lefties.
