    Why not blame Christians? Are you aware of what the Catholic Spaniards did in the Americas? It was REVOLTING.

    Just one example of many

    Abrahamic religions deserve all of the blame they get and more

    • Blame the christians absolutely, but recognize that the primary motor behind colonisation was not religion but accumulation of capital. There was no such drive among armenian christians, egyptian christians etc. Religion is a powerful tool to control the exploited, but not the cause of colonialism. Like the wheels don’t power the car but are essential for it’s movement. There are also other uses for wheels, but there is only one use for a car motor.
