They edited their comment after I wrote mine. It would have been much more polite for them to reply.

Let's dispense with the requirement that I provide you with a comprehensive legal framework that would nicely sort all countries into whether they are responsible for colonial reparations or not. I live in America, so I'll just say that America's (and basically all of Europe's) direct connection to colonialism is so obvious (and continuing) that their responsibility need barely be justified.

Not all European nations were colonizers, some were instead victims of colonization. Are these European states eligible for colonial reparations as well?
