    To British people, the third world is their playground, where they can visit and act like they own the place

      Guy here is acting like tourism is the same as conquering a place

        Never heard of a neo colony and how many subjugated financially and quietly, not guns and boots on the ground. But if you’re English you love colonialism so I can’t change your views of that

          I’m not but you go right on assuming things about other people if it supports your worldview I guess

      There is a Nepalese regiment in the British army; just in case you were unaware that Nepal is well known and respected in (much of) the UK population.

        Why do you think that is? You colonized them

          You need to reread your history book because that literally never happened.

          Interesting. So every single account of the Anglo-Nepalese war is incorrect. I shall get on to every credible historian and point out this error. Thank you for your help.

      Nepal is one of the few countries they tried to conquer but couldn’t. Instead, they hired them as mercenaries.

      That sounds like you think “the third world” is some group that collectively decides on the same thing. But at the same time you haven’t given them any agency otherwise they would ban tourists from entering.

        I mean, generally speaking, the people who face the consequences of policy the most are not the people who decide on the policy.

            It doesn’t, the dude is just racist and too much of a coward to even own up to it. So he tries to hide it behind made-up ‘justifications’ like wars that never happened, or colonization of places that famously couldn’t be colonized.
