This anti-colonialism needs to cease. As a French person, do i have to choice about how much taxes we pay or whether we belong to the E.U.? No, I need to compose with my neighbors, who have an entirely different idea of my freedom than I have. Democracy is an illusion, we don’t actually choose our leaders, we are told who to choose, that is point #1.

Point #2 is, would those places be more democratic and wealthy if they seceded? Algeria is still governed by military and sending its youths to France because it’s a better country.

I’m not for or against the size if the French territory, I’m tired of anti-whiteness being disguised under seemingly principled arguments. Although your principle is sincere, good-willed and aims at improving the world, its side-effects are horrible if you are not also able to defend white people for all the good things they also did.

Basically, generalized hate in mass media + inability to talk about upsides is generally a preparation for a genocide, and UN wouldn’t save us given they are not principled, are filled with anti-white feelings, and the western civilization is only 10% of humanity so we wouldn’t win in a vote long-term. Do you believe the Western civilization should disappear? Because sure it did bad things but it is also the only one who ended slavery.

So you would support Germany re-colonizing France like in 1938 to fix all the problems France has?

> also the only one who ended slavery

Incorrect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_abolition_of_slave...

The abolition of slavery occurred at different times in different countries. It frequently occurred sequentially in more than one stage – for example, as abolition of the trade in slaves in a specific country, and then as abolition of slavery throughout empires. Each step was usually the result of a separate law or action. This timeline shows abolition laws or actions listed chronologically. It also covers the abolition of serfdom.

Although slavery is technically illegal in all countries today, the practice continues in many locations around the world, often with government support.
