No country has a perfect history, go back far enough and we all have dark periods in how we’ve treated people.

Mate, this is not history. It’s right now. Unless you’re ten you should even remember shit like the start of bombing of Libya which goes beyond even local politics. How much dodgier is China compared to “The West” even if you do believe the Zenz conspiracy, when the big leader country of that has let Native life expectancy drop 10 years during the pandemic, or how even European indigenous cultures like the Catalan get jail for daring to make a referendum on independence?
