     @otfrom @lain @kaia I agree with your closing sentiment, but it's worth remembering that many of those countries (especially in the southeast) were colonized and never had colonies. Ottoman rule, for example, was politically and economically similar to English rule in Ireland (without using locals as agents in Africa and the Americas).

     @lain @kaia going to other places, extracting what they have, forcing 3rd places to grow them for your benefit as well thanks to the idea of comparative advantage?

     I do sort of see your point though.

     I need to find that pro immigration billboard that says "we didn't come to you. You came to us"
