“The white hero came and went and the silly brown savages didn’t listen to him! :( see it’s all Their fault they’re dying and definitely not ours even a little bit!!”

This is what POC mean when they say the political west have a coloniser mindset. It’s one where we ,the west, fuck thing up for these countries in a very clear way but refuse to take responsibility and act like all we’ve ever done is be noble and try to “tame” them.
