    I wonder how you could back this claim. Any link in mind?

    Sure man.

    Compare for example the extent and duration of the Swedish and German colonies

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_overseas_colonies#/media/File:SwedishColonialEmpire(FIX).png Wtf is that even, you have to zoom in to properly see most of it lol

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_colonial_empire#/media/File:German_colonial.PNG

    To the, what I called, big powers of colonization.

    The Dutch While they’re in terms of territory best comparable to Germany, they had their colonial possessions for several hundred years compared to the, not even, 40 years of German control.

    For the others, it’s not even close:

    Spain

    Portugal

    France

    Britain

    Always happy to help out!

      Summing up the conversation that took place here before your comment, I’d say the following and copy-paste a couple of things.

      Of course there have been different levels of colonization coming from Europe. But in some cases, saying for example Sweden has little colonial involvement is like saying Sweden was a little Nazi in WW2. Should we applaud Sweden then?

      So, it is also important to be able to approach european colonialism as a whole, since it has the common ground that whites are superior to everybody else.
