I find it funny when colonizers project their own barbarism on the people they colonize. In fact most of the shit they do are just as barbaric (if not even more) than tying a woman on a table and cutting her heart out, widows burning themselves alive, and whatever reason the bastards give on why x indigenous group is barbaric real or fabricated. If anything if we objectively try to figure out which civilization is the most barbaric then the answer is the West.

I'll list a few things western colonizers do that are even more barbaric than that:

• expelling almost all the Jews from Spain for the most insane reason possible;

• deliberately infecting native populations with smallpox (yes, that's a real thing);

• the Roman empire expanding itself to gain more slaves (which is a terrible idea unsurprisingly);

• supporting colonizing regimes in their reign of terror on the indigenous population;

• deliberately destabilizing entire regions for both the profits of their [...] ultra-wealthy "benefactors" and to stop the masses from figuring out what's really going on;

• waging bullshit wars like in Iraq, the War on Drugs, the recent debacle in Afghanistan, Korea, and now Palestine.
