Colonialism killed a lot of people, but some of those people were backward so it's impossible to say if it was bad or not.

There is another side to this type of reasoning as well. The more culturally relative one. It essentially implies the same thing though. because some of the people we are speaking about that got wiped out were essentially doing the same thing in their own way, but we don't speak about that because presumably we're the more advanced and civilised... or something? They don't know any better... something like that.

The Aztec Empire maintained its supremacy by war or threat of war against its neighboring areas. Aztecs engaged in war for two primary reasons: for conquest to reap tribute or to take captives for religious sacrifices necessary to satisfy the gods.

The Aztec empire was essentially doing the same thing in its own way.

It was not exactly just land grab. It was outright genocide in some cases.

Sure, there are a whole bunch of mesoamerican cultures that were completely wiped out, and as a result we know almost nothing about today - so in a lot of cases there's no incontrovertible proof or historical records from descendants of those cultures that they practiced things like child sacrifice, or enslaved conquered enemies in order to eat them.
There's just things like finding a bunch of child corpses that have been dismembered at what are believed to be holy sites.

And is still kind of impossible to be sure if they were indeed child sacrifices because the is almost zero documentation from this cultures and the ones we have is from biased colonized sources that half assed it or misrepresented.

Compared with this, European nations have well documented legacy at the opposite of “almost nothing” in some colonies. But people need to be grateful because Europeans told them that “we are sure you were savages that killed children. Take our word for it. Now give me your gold. Also, don’t worry, you don’t need to go school like our children or having the same rights”.

I mean... it's one thing to doubt contemporary sources and claims made by conquistadores, its another to doubt modern archaeological evidence of things like the mass graves of decapitated children.
Most of europe was 'colonised' at some point or the other in its history, by various different cultures, and there were numerous cultures eradicated as a result, many of which were also cannibals, or performed ritual human sacrifice.
The difference being it happened thousands of years ago, not hundreds.

I don't begrudge the Italians for my country being a Roman colony once upon a time, and I don't particularly mourn the loss of pagan tribes that conducted human sacrifice.

Its not really about trying to downplay colonisation being a landgrab - which did indeed result in genocide, and the fact that wasn't really the goal doesn't make that any better, just the same as someone killing a dude for money isn't really any 'better' than killing someone in a jealous rage; its still murder - its about putting it into historical context.

again, turning back to the roman conquest of europe, yeah, a fucking ton of people were murdered for that to happen. And Rome took more than it gave. But its just outright false to pretend that nothing was gained in return, even if the exchange was lopsided, and forced upon them.

Eh... they didn’t  exactly wipe out others. Their rules of war were different to Europeans. They are a lot of bizarre moments in the Conquest for both Natives and Europeans because they had very different cultural backgrounds regarding war.

But you are downplaying because not in any moment I say Europeans “didn’t give” something. You are downplaying because you are using the “it was better for them because progress” as many years before was used to justify this actions. Like I said, I don’t even disagree that much with you but let not whitewash this stuff with “they were worse than me” because is the same self serving way of think that RE likes to use.

The point I am making is this conversation tends to go in only one direction. But the truth is, every nation and every culture has something in its past it could be criticised for. And that's not to say European colonialism doesn't deserve criticism. It just seems like it only really counts when the Europeans do it that's all. And there is an implication in this that the Europeans were civilised and sophisticated enough to know better, therefore they deserve criticism. Every other nation doesn't count somehow.

[VomKriege]

we should talk about that time France tried to take over Mexico

France wouldn't be France without the cockups

we don't speak about that because presumably we're the more advanced and civilised... or something? They don't know any better... something like that.

"Colonization" is a pretty vague term and it's generally a lot more granular than a simple relation between a master and a slave. In most situations there's often at least a third group (the actual colonizers) if not many more (In St Domingue / Haïti the French representatives, local rich white settlers, the metis, the poor whites, the black slaves, the free black and the rival European powers settled nearby are all different actors pursuing distinct interests.). I mentioned it somewhere but a French researcher tried to chart how many whites exactly there were serving in French sub-saharan colonies on a permanent basis (public servants, doctors, etc...) in 1914 and the number is shockingly small, like maybe 2000 if you exclude Sénégal which was a more popular posting. It's the same lesson than the conquest of the Aztec : no colonization was ever possible without some of the native populations or individuals engaging with the colonizers in pursuit of their own interests.

But at the end of the day it's also fair to say there was no ambiguity on who was subjugated and who was subjugating.

As for the soul searching, I guess it's only proportionate to the extent of the crime or profit we extracted from it ? But yeah there's a tendency for some people to -somewhat ironically because in a way it's buying in the same White exceptionalism they denounce- handwave the agency of the colonized people and the historical reality that people of all skin colours were never shy in partaking in war, slavery and subjugation. I guess nobody is comfortable at the idea that a victim can also be a hangman, at different points or even at the same time.

No, I'm criticising the perspective that there was nothing gained by those colonised. I'm not saying they were 'better off' or that they 'deserved it because they were worse' at all.
Good things can come from bad things, it doesn't make the bad things not bad.

Pro-Enlightenment types ostensibly reject the notion that one can replace one tyrant with another (now, not then). If you're asking why no one considers the internecine killing and subjugation in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica in these discussions it's because any extant tyranny there was simply replaced with another; the Spanish, British, French weren't running Operation Desert Storm.

Well, it was on my mind recently. I was watching a Vox video on Youtube that was on my recommended list. It was titled, 'How the British Failed India'. And the comments were all pretty much blaming the British and US for everything. Everything bad in the world is because of the British and US. The video really fed into that. The video talked about how the British had a 'Divide and Rule' policy which essentially put the Muslims and Hindus against each other. And to add to thaat they fucked up the partitioning of India and Pakistan. This led to the mass slaughter of Muslims and Hindus. The British was all to blame. It really feeds into this comic book villain that is the West.

The funny thing though, I read more about the British divide and rule policy in India and learned it was actually only a theory, a popular theory, but not a fact. There are no documents referring to a divide and rule policy in India. Now, even if it were true, to call it a 'policy' suggests it was something official, which it wasn't. A 'strategy' would be more fitting. In fact, this academic paper I was reading was arguing that a divide and rule strategy would have been counter-productive. Divide and rule is good in times of war and strife, because you split the groups making them less effective. But when what you want is a stable and peaceful society, which is what the British would need to rule, it goes against that.

★ The Last Unicorn
1982 was an amazing year for film, and among classics like E.T. and Blade Runner stands the melancholy The Last Unicorn, a film I first encountered when my mom brought home the VHS one afternoon. I was confused by it—there were no transforming alien trucks or renegade scientists shooting glowing ropes at ghosts, so I checked out quickly, because I was a dumb boy trained to react in grunting affirmation to half-hour toy commercials. But millions of other people (including my mother, who never paid attention to our cartoons but was snuffling back tears at the end of this one) heard the song Peter S. Beagle’s story was singing—and I don’t mean the wood-paneled, orange-hued theme song by America. I mean The Last Unicorn’s sad-yet-sweet song of loss and transformation. For those millions, this was a formative touchstone as valuable and meaningful as Star Wars or the Muppets, and revisiting it on the big screen is an opportunity you shouldn’t miss. (Fri June 21-Thurs June 27, Academy Theater) BOBBY ROBERTS

★ Raiders of the Lost Ark
Maybe the most perfectly constructed film in cinema history. Maybe. I’m sure someone out there has an argument on deck, but I’m betting their champion of choice doesn’t include a giant pit of snakes; a fight inside, on top of, and hanging off the front of a truck at 50 mph; a holy box that melts Nazi faces like Totino’s Party Pizza; and—most importantly—the presence of peak Harrison Ford in all his sweaty, smirky, silly-yet-sexy glory. (Fri June 21-Thurs June 27, Academy Theater) BOBBY ROBERTS

★ Rocky
There is the idea of Rocky, and then there’s the 1976 original. The idea has been built up over decades of caricature via both audiences and Rock’s creator, Sylvester Stallone. And thanks to Stallone’s constant alternating between identifying with his Italian Stallion (Rocky, Rocky Balboa, and Creed, which is the best film in the series, fight me) and being ashamed of him (all the other movies but especially the third and fourth), the character is not unlike Godzilla: fondly recalled as a lumbering, nonverbal implement of destruction, celebrated most for his stupidest exploits. And like a revisit of the first Godzilla film, that cartoon bullshit just... goes away as you experience John G. Avildsen’s quiet domestic drama (!) about a few broken, forgotten, disrespected people fumbling towards feeling like human fucking beings for just a little while. Yeah, there’s a massive (and massively unrealistic) boxing match at the end, scored with some of the most uplifting film music ever composed. But Rocky is great not because it’s a greasy, jingoistic, incoherently masturbatory celebration of Stallone’s worst impulses (that’s Rocky IV). It’s great because it’s one of the most human films the 1970s ever produced, and that’s saying a hell of a lot. Screens as a benefit for Help Hope Live; more info at hollywoodtheatre.org.

The Warriors
Normally Walter Hill’s The Warriors isn’t included in run-of-the-mill listicles about the best fantasy films. Sure, people love to put Conan and Dark Crystal and even Beastmaster (I’ve seen it done!) on such lists, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen The Warriors make the cut, and that’s a tragedy. This is 100 percent an epic quest set in a fantastical, otherworldly version of New York City. Did Walter Hill mean to make a fantasy movie out of Sol Yurick’s much-more-straightforward novel? Who cares! Experiencing The Warriors for the first time feels like being forced in a closet with a carton of candy cigarettes and being told to actually smoke all of them, before stumbling out into the real world at its end, sugar crashed and scowling, exhilarated but burnt out.

I would straight up tell James he's better off without him. Seriously he could branch off and do his own thing and still be a success. Mike is screwed without James.

Look at who James associates with in general, Mike is one of his best friends.
Mike is not the only problem.

I don't know who James Rolfe is but did he ever get out of his way to editorialize in his videos ? Not that I'm aware of and I watched a bunch (not even in that Ghostbusters video, as much as GAFERA want to believe so, though it was very nerd-petulant of him).

Look at who James associates with in general, Mike is one of his best friends.
Mike is not the only problem.

I don't know who James Rolfe is but did he ever get out of his way to editorialize in his videos ? Not that I'm aware of and I watched a bunch (not even in that Ghostbusters video, as much as GAFERA want to believe so, though it was very nerd-petulant of him).

I remember the Channel Awesome thread when people found out it was JewWario.

It was not pretty.

Yeah. I was still a mod at the time and going through all of that as the primary mod for the thread was...a lot.

You can enjoy the content and still hate the creator. Divorce the artist from the art. This is for most media.

Not if the artist is in their art.

And this doesn't even apply when you're giving the artist money.

Is there a list of popular YouTubers with questionable beliefs? It would be difficult to do research or watch every single one of their videos before deciding to subscribe.

No, though I don’t really follow any famous YouTubers to begin with. But if I did I’d never admit it on Era. Doing that seems like a good way to get dogpiled and/or banned.

Why do you seem more concerned over getting banned from an internet forum than potentially supporting harmful people?

I’m... not?
I was saying that in some hypothetical universe where I did watch those youtubers I would keep it to myself instead of answering truthfully. Was I not clear enough?

Proving his point with this post right here.

Quick, get Finale Foreworker in there !

I read in AVGN reddit that Mike doesn’t even work for Cinemassacre anymore (he just do videos with James).

Edit: Correction, it was in the Cinemassacre sub reddit. There seems to be a lot of dramatic with Mike and others James’ associates. (We are not going to get more Board James stuff because Bootsy and Mike hate each other )

You know, when people used to say "you can find out everything about somebody from the internet" I used to think that was hyperbole, because how much could really be online?
