A continent whose legacy involves literally stealing resources and instigating racial and ethnic tensions across the world for political gain clearly are not thieves.

The people who call out the people in said continent for being annoying pretentious racists are. Lmfao, rofl even.

Funny thing is most of europes wealth is through mining coal, serfs and industry (from poor europeans). Europs population rose to 20% in the 1600s and by 1900 it was 28% of the world(now its 9%). 1800 was the era of the big wealth cap building. Colonies (except for few and very specific resouces) were overall money pits. For most states just holding port cities would bring more cash without the policing costs. But that would have allowed another european power to also trade in that area so most were dick measuring contests. Especially africa.
