Discussions on rather sensitive topics like colonialism or revolution can be pretty bad in alternate history. I mean, jeez, I read threads on if colonialism can be more humane and it quickly degenerated into arguments and pointing out that the Japanese and Chinese could be plenty brutal imperialists themselves.
Answer seems to be, no, can’t be more humane since all of replies were “A little less shitty than what they actually were.”
Every month or more often on the Other Place there's a thread on how a white settler majority country could arise in Africa, how apartheid could survive and be nicer etc. It's very odd.
I tend to reply with some history and stats as why this would be inherently unstable, unsustainable, but back of my mind is a voice saying "why do people keep postulating this"
