What about Sweden's economy relies on "the exploitation of the third world"?
Please don't tell me your advocating this

I never said that.

I am a full supporter of Kadaeuxianism. So long as I run the show, Emperor of the Earth would be an acceptable title, I don't have a problem. Any current system with Politicians in charge of it, fuck that.

You have a habit of going off on tangents where you do nothing but rant about how awful western civilization is. I'm going to ignore those in this post.No, it doesn't matter if they were there first or not. Why would it matter? As for slavery, it's not a European invention. Arabs took more African slaves than Europeans did. Furthermore, Europeans were the ones to eventually end slavery. Usually, they had to do this by force, since slavery had been engrained into the society of their colonies since before Europeans had ever arrived there.

I can't think of any examples of settler migration ever having happened in Asia on any large scale.

In Africa, people like the Boers had lived in their lands since before the later comers, the Zulu—who had the advantage of having black skin and thus being assumed to be the original inhabitants of whatever part of Africa they migrated to—had arrived.

It's not important who lived there originally anyway; no ethnicity is native to anywhere on the planet.

You keep using the term 'exploitation' as a buzzword, as if the evil white-devils swarmed in and slaughtered the local populace, then used their bones as pickaxes to mine the diamonds out of their sacred monuments after having eaten their flesh.

Teaching the locals that the riverbed they've been using to shit in actually contains massive deposits of gold is hardly exploitation. There's a mutual benefit there. Who's benefiting more? That could be argued. But if it's the Europeans, then rightfully so. They're the ones who found the stuff in the first place.
