As stated in the title, do you think admitting wrong doing with Slavery and Colonialism the source of its current issues such as the White Guilt and inability to do anything to defend itself less one get called bad names?
Here is my position.
Societies for a long time preached narratives about their history, their founders, etc. That from a liberal perspective are absolutely heinous but from the perspective of a local of said society and believes in it see's something to be proud of, to be filled with glory and need to live up to it.
The Left and the Liberal said that this is wrong and propaganda and we should care about truth and what did they do? Deconstruct and make you hate your own people or nations history. We thought that this was cause we need to realize the truth and do better but now we can see that they did this not cause we need the truth. No. It's a tool to destroy.
Let me post something for you.
From wikipedia:
Taner Akcam has written the following:[33]
In Turkish discourse, the following argument is commonly heard: "If we accept the Genocide, then the claim for reparations will soon follow." It shows that the main fear is not what we should call the event, but what comes after the event.
According to Fatma Müge Göçek, many Turkish journalists have viewed the issue of recognition as "an imposition on the Turkish state and society, one that would solely benefit the Armenians". In one editorial a Turkish journalist wrote "If you once acknowledge, then see what will happen next? From demands for restitution to land...".[34]
Turkey see's what has happened to the West. The endless crying about slavery and colonialism like it's a fucking original sin.
They never stop bringing up shit from centuries to thousands of years ago. Why? Cause they know that under the liberal paradigm that this stuff is bad you have to agree to what they say and shut up. It's justice after all. And you don't want to be like those terrible monster ancestors do you?
They use this to demoralize you or your kids. To make you hate your country and history.
They will even do propaganda but they of course don't call it that to push this.
or to put it another way
Denying the Armenian Genocide is done cause of the general trends of recognized atrocities never being forgiven as inherited blame making it so such recognition amounts to nothing but a perpetual bone-anchor
As we see in the West with this example:
But what say you?
