    The wealth of the colonial countries is entirely due to wealth extracted from the colonies. If they don’t want the responsibility, they should also give away all their wealth.

    You can’t have one and not the other.

    Either a free consciousness or the stolen wealth.

      entirely

      Uh huh. Go away and come back when you’re done with slogans and want to have an actual conversation based in reality.

      Yes, certain countries have taken quite a bit of wealth and discussion can be had about that.

      Claiming that these countries got all their wealth “from the colonies” and need to give it all back is just just not true and disingenuous and poisoning the discussion
