You make it sound like there were no violence involved to do “just” that colonization that you describe as “either” extracting resources or exporting people. It’s both. And genocide. Mercenaries. Corruption. Etc. you just hand waived at a lot of social conflicts all over the world…

I am not trying to accuse you of anything. I just found it unfortunate that you expressed like that.

And it’s not about comparing which people suffered the most during their invasions by British power.
