Imperialism: The Momma of All Fuck-ups

Imperialism is bad: it is the source of all the big and small wars ever since antiquity. The Spanish caused all the hardships you see in Latin America; the French messed up most parts of Africa and South-east Asia; the Italians in Eastern Africa was good as Mousolini (as good as dead); the Dutch, well, they created the biggest Islamic nation in the world (not that bad though); modern day China was a result of 3000 years of internal imperialism; and the baddest of them all are the British.

Thanks to the British, we had a situation where we call this situation by the name Malaysia. You see, I theorize that Malaysia is not a country, but a result out of the mess that the imperialists were unable to mend. They brought everybody, every single culture they could muster into this tiny strip of land called Malaya and ripped every ounce of it inside out before they were chickened out by samurai wielding bicyclists, little men (and women) from the jungle, and finally Oxford educated keris wielders. So the remnants of this little piece of land had to trouble themselves because they were jealous of each others' gain.

Thanks to the British too, you had all kinds of stupid laws and rules that are written before they chickened out and now has become canon. Thanks to the British too we now had English educated brats who are experts at judging peoples' ass. Plus, the imperialists also gave us the words 'minister' and 'politicians' which equals crap in the modern sense. So don't go blaming your Malays or Indians or Chinese for the crap situation you get now, blame it on whoever that brought us together in the first place, and the people that suggested the name for this situation. Because they also couldn't keep up, just like the Brits.
