Few nations without corpses in the basement in their history. Umportant the current behavior, the history of other countries can't be used as valuation without hypocrisy, only if they had not learned from it.

That's a good point. The real problem is that the land and resources they stole through brazen force still remain in the hands of Western megacorps in a system of neocolonialism, and whenever any of the exploited countries try to tax or regulate that (much less reclaim their resources altogether), they get sanctioned into oblivion, if not overthrown outright.
And they still think they were civilising people. There is a reason with West is associated with hypocrites. Atleast teach your population that colonisation was wrong no matter how you look at it.
See, right off the bat I'm like "wow, I didn't know the Russians did the same thing as the British with the potato famine"
Few famines before british rule, dozens during, and none after.
Hmmm....
Must've been the climate!
