Some nations like the British colonized and conquered by fucking with the people. The other end of the spectrum, Spain and others just fucked the people.

The hell kind of sick joke is this?
The conquistadors literally drug women out into the valleys underneath where the Inca were barricaded up and raped them as a way of taunting the besieged, who they later either slaughtered or enslaved, and beheaded the rulers after forcibly converting them to Catholicism and hid their remains so they couldn’t be worshipped in Inca tradition. Is that what you consider “just fucking”?

Wrong. The Spaniards did a lot of fucking murder.
Funnily enough a pretty large portion of Robinson Crusoe is about how superior the British colonial method is because healthy slaves make more money.

Dunno how you get that. MSG has nothing to do with opium.

Do you not understand the concept of “lying?” The comic is showing the British person selling drugs and calling it MSG. It isn’t actually MSG. 🤦♂️

Yeah but they didn’t lie about what Opium was. It’s a weird obfuscation/selfcensoring.
The Brits would absolutely just ask kids on the street if they wanted some opium. Hell, forget the asking part, kidnap/buy them, get them hooked, and prostitute them was a go-to move.
