White Man's Burden

Is the White Man's Burden an accurate idea? Or does it just serve to justify welfare?

I think it's ironic that liberals vilify Kipling for his white man's burden quote, but they are the one's who patronize minorities and act like it's their responsibility to champion them.

Personally, I think it's all bullshit, people should be allowed to either thrive or fail and figure things out on their own.

This. Modern liberals belive in the white mans burden but would never admit it

Like how bout my tax money doesn't go to serve nigs just because that's who they are. If you all kill each other and starve to death into extinction then let that be your own damn fault.

A bit of both, really. There was both naked opportunism and a genuine vision white countries had a moral responsibility to be benevolent rulers of the world like the Romans did for us at some point.

One of many reasons we ended up colonizing Africa was to put an end to the slave trade. Western Empires poured a ridiculous amount of money in their colonies, developing their infrastructures, building roads, hospitals, schools that eventually only really benefited the few owners of companies exploiting natural resources over there.

>put an end to the slave trade

hold the fuck up.
what about the Belgians who used the native populations as slaves to mine the natural resources?

It isn't all that noble to end the slave trade just to enslave people in their own native land.

Who knows?

First step is literally draining the swamp.
We can re-evaluate once we're sure reality (the narrative)
isn't being manipulated.

Take up the White Man's burden, Send forth the best ye breed
Go bind your sons to exile, to serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild—
Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.

Take up the White Man's burden, In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit, And work another's gain.

Take up the White Man's burden, The savage wars of peace—
Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought.

Take up the White Man's burden, No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper, The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living, And mark them with your dead.

Take up the White Man's burden And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard—
The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:—
"Why brought he us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?"

Take up the White Man's burden, Ye dare not stoop to less—
Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your gods and you.

Take up the White Man's burden, Have done with childish days—
The lightly proffered laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood, through all the thankless years
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment of your peers!

Always relevant.

After actually reading this, yes it's an accurate idea

> we gotta help them out
> we need to tax ourselves more until they can do it on their own
> we need more immigrants from brown places

They don't see the irony, though.

Do you teach a child by doing everything for them? If you do everything for a child does it not spoil them?

They vilify Kipling because they've never actually read the poem to realize that it's entirely anti-imperialist.

>that it's entirely anti-imperialist.
Have you ever read anything of Kipling

It justifies welfare and foreign aid, and makes the free market out to be capitalist exploitation when in reality our ancestors busted there asses to create all of this abundance and lazy foreigners want to leach off all their hard work

atlas should shrug

I might even get in touch with this qt pommy chick I used to know, wish me luck lads.

technically "British red" is Venetian red, adopted it in 1645 I think.

Still, Cecil is my fucking hero.

>checking those dank trips

...

Don't forget the classic

>We need to pay for their infrastructure so they don't have to feel as poor

Incidentally the book called "The White Man's Burden' written by William Easterly is worth a read. I do not really agree with his politics, and he pretty much builds his position from the view that foreign aid is just a new form of colonialism. As a book though it does serve to show how and why organizations like the UN fail at basically everything they intend to achieve.

>foreign aid is just a new form of colonialism
i don't see the problem

Dont forget

> higher wages for teachers to teach in brown schools
> food subsidies for brown people
> housing for brown people
> affirmative action
> all overwhelmingly paid for by whites

but yeah liberals are completely against the concept of the white mans burden

Honestly the whole "white man's burden" thing during the age of colonization was complete pure bullshit. Along with "colonization" came """""progress""""" in the form of famines for India, opium trade for China, mass genocide for the Congo under Leopold 2's rule. Colonialism back then for the world is kinda like "progressiveness" is today for western countries. The change and uprooting of the past in regards to values primarily.

> Following the Scramble for Africa, an early but secondary focus for most colonial regimes was the suppression of slavery and the slave trade.
> By the end of the colonial period they were mostly successful in this aim, though slavery is still very active in Africa and the world at large with much the same practices of de facto servility despite legislative prohibition.

Abolitionists didn't end exploitative labor practices but they effectively ended the international slave trade.

I'm sure some were pretty cynical about it they did stop it even though nobody wants to give them credit for doing so.
