    Criticizing European colonialist roots makes me an asset? Welp, guess I should instead join the massive far-right crowds in Spain chanting that Muslims should be expelled and that Spain brought culture and technology to its colonies in America

      The EU was founded on peace. Post world war 2 , right up until now was the longest period of peace on the continent in moder history.

      You do you man, but parroting divisive talking points just to be doing it is asset work.

        Damn, you should totally tell the million Algerians murdered by France leading up to 1962 that Europe was peaceful, maybe nothing would have happened. You should also tell Iraqis about how we totally didn’t join the invasion of their country on this very century, Yugoslav people how Europe didn’t bomb them, and Libyans that Europe didn’t bomb them either
