    that there's plenty of colonisers who were basically as bad as Hitler, but because they focused their horrors to the colonial perifery no one really cares. and are often celebrated as heroes.

    that's the whole point of the post.

    Hitler is hated because he tried to colonize Europe, while most European nations where doing basically the same in Africa/Asia.

    Leopold is celebrated as a hero? After what he did in Congo? In all these years, I haven't met a single Belgian who doesn't think he was a monster.
