Colonialism is just one of a many in a long line of inter-group conflict and conquest based on an arbitrary division, which is what I have been getting at. There will always be an 'ism that is used to divide and promote conflict.
Government is always shitty to a portion of the people under its control, its a very subjective statement. It is clear your understanding of history is as fiction based as you claim American understanding is.
So as usual, truisms that are about as useful as "everything that isn't an orange is a non-orange".
It's only subjective if you're in the business of trying to warp the truth in order to justify an agenda such as the perpetuation of a specific ideology - i.e. capitalism. This is why capitalists have both a hard on for technology but simultaneously despise scientists; because the latter aren't bound to produce results that automatically agree with the former's ideological dicta.Government is always shitty to a portion of the people under its control, its a very subjective statement.

After all, only about 600 mio people live in areas just 10m above sea level and shipping is responsible for more than 90% of trade between countries.
Obviously rising sea levels will have no impact and will not lead to civilizational decline. Safe harbors stay safe forever regardless of sea levels or weather patterns.
Shocking, the idea that governments that are not founded on the public good might in fact be bad.... is a thing.
Cool; we're not talking about human viewpoints, we're talking about human outcomes which are - again - only subjective if one calls things like egalitarianism or the dignity of life into question. Which isn't a very flattering commentary regarding the person making said arguments, either.Anything to do with human viewpoints is subjective, only the narrow minded think that their opinions are objective.

The very importance of egalitarianism and dignity of life is subjective, based on one's accepted mores and taboos.

My statement does not preclude strong political views.
Show me where I deny the existence of systemic racism.
