When colonialism was at its peak, the traditional lifestyle of Africans was shaken to its core by vast European contact. Europe’s goal of civilizing the Africans was partially completed before it was abandoned entirely following the post-WWII wave of white guilt. Since then, Africa has become a continent of despair, genocides, economic depression, corruption, and war. Africa is not returning to its traditional heritage, it is just making a false and dangerous imitation of the West; any western involvement is advantageous at this point.

It was like that under Europeans too. The Belgians murdered a THIRD of the entire population of the Congo.

So, you start a thread whose OP claims that Africans are dumb as posts and now you obviously want the West to conquer Africa?

Where the heck are these ridiculous ideas coming from?

Conquering Africa was about exploiting it not civilizing it.

Did you type this while cleaning your favorite bust of Cecil Rhodes?
 
Instead of a fight clubber we have someone whose own arguments are self owning. Someone who is blaming all kinds of bad things on Africa ignoring that Africa has little influence on anything else in the world.
 
The West should clean up its own countries before it sticks its nose in other people's business.

No. Then we'd have to govern it. We should influence it, sure. But conquer? No.


Hell - have you ever looked at the size of Africa?

Why should I care if Africa is a mess? Colonising is an expensive proposition. Leave it to the Chinese.

Nope.That would take a lot of resources,money and the lives of our troops for something that may not even work out.
 
We can barely keep our own infrastructure up to date and we're going to conquer and administer a continent over double our total land mass and over three times our population? Hah, yeah, okay.
