humanitarianism is a western trait  while basically all ethnicities have practiced slavery at some point in time (some still do today) the only people to outright ban slavery have been those of western nations, sure they did it but realized how awful it was and had the foresight to forbid it. no other place has actually ever liberated slaves under their control at any time. furthermore, while colonialism was basically done by psychopaths (basically the type of person to go to an unknown land and carve out a portion of it are people who don't fit into society, which is why they were always brutal about colonialism) the colonies basically brought nations from the stone age to the modern age and the european nations basically just let the colonies be free again. if it was china or africa or muslims that had conquered india and gandhi had tried his "non violent protest" he would have been killed and dumped on the side of the road and then the rulers would raugh about it. kinda like how xi is brutally oppressing the muslims in his country, or the africans towards other africans or muslims towards non muslims. at some point, for some reason we've forgotten that the norm of the world is not being humanitarian, it's not being empathetic, the norm is actually being brutal and unforgiving to anyone different. empathy is a western trait and it's going to be the downfall of the west.
