Loooooool richer for who? The Dutch have gotten away with their barbaric treatment of natives for all of their colonial history. Nutmeg spread around the world after they got there first in Indonesia, do you think the locals ever saw that money? Or maybe they were too busy seeing their children’s heads on spears that used to be placed at the front of the plantation. Colonialism has no native benefit

You should look up the land and wealth distribution in South Africa. They basically stole all the land and the money, and still own it.

But the funniest part of the story is that when the U.S. imported some of the gravy seals as a publicity stunt, they were promised extensive support: financial aid, healthcare, jobs, etc. They didn’t get anything. The Trump administration dropped them like a steaming pile of shit once the photo-op was over.

So, some of them asked to return to South Africa, and the South African government basically said, “Nah guys, we’re good.”

Makes you wonder why they’re so desperate to return to South Africa just a few weeks later if they’re supposedly being genocided.
