Line 139:
Did you just try to copy and paste the article by the ''same guy'' i mentioned his research wasn't valid and widely critcized by other historians as "evidence" to your proof? Like i didn't even paint you as a white supremacist and yet you're accusing me of doing so because you're so fragile and think any criticism to you believing in BS written by a pro-colonialism
Also, i love how you say i'm not presenting any evidence like i need to state every historian who believes the Holocaust is real, like, you entirely ignored every single historian who has noted Leopold's atrocities in there, including the historical consensus in order to support a guy whose work is not only motivated by agenda but also
Oh yeah, and two things i love: Him talking about the whole "Leopold helped fight off arab slaves" when the Congo Free State initially ''colaborated'' with the arabs until hostilities grew between the two and he tried using this as part of his humanitarian campaign propaganda, and you using Leopold's letter as "proof" (do you also use Albert Speer's memories as a accurate report on the Reich?) of his benevolence when he has another letter where he scoffs at officials chopping hands because that's the only things he needa from the natives.
Lastly, the fact that Gilley things fucking heart of darkness is pro-colonialism because it has stereotypical depictions of african natives (On a 19th century book? Shocker!) showcases he never fucking read the damn thing because this is how the "white man's burden" and the colonialists are described, word-for-word:
"To tear treasure out of the bowels of the land was their desire, with no more moral purpose at the back of it than there is in burglars breaking into a safe."
