Ah yes, the most brutal were eastern European, Ukrainian, Polish and Baltic colonies

(Not denying colonialism was and is a fucking disease, just think it's unfair to judge ALL of Europe for it when it is basically exclusively western Europe that did that shit)

Imperial Russia has entered the chat

USSR has entered the chat

Colonialism ia over. The continuing neo-colonialism is the problem.

It's even dumber to blame the Balkans for neo-colonialism.

They can't even colonize their neighbors, and they really really want to.

I just... Misread your comment and didnt mean to imply I was disagreeing, but thought I was adding something by being succinct.

Don't forget Iceland, the most brutal coloniser of them all.
