Stupy Spoke I Answer So You Won't Have To Read It

“I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas.  I am strongly in favor of using poison gas against uncivilized tribes. It would spread a lively terror.”  Winston Churchill, 1920

“I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.”  Winston Churchill, 1937, addressing the Peel Commission

"I propose that 100,000 degenerate Britons should be forcibly sterilized and others put in labour camps to halt the decline of the British race."  Winston Churchill as Home Secretary.  I have no doubt that after that lot had been done in he'd have found another 100,000 or more to do the same to.   The work house system had shown that even during his lifetime the British establishment he championed was willing to starve people to death. 

Churchill opposed the Nazis as a British nationalist, just as he advocated the mass killings of people in other places as part of his British nationalism.  When he was not, yet, a danger to British imperial and national interests, he was a huge fan of Mussolini, seeing him as a strongman in opposition to Leninism.  I would like to find out if he ever said anything about Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia and how that differed from the British policy in Africa but my time for research is not infinite.   Of course, when Germany went to the Nazis and he realized their potential to harm British interests and Mussolini allied himself with Hitler, that changed. 

Churchill was a racist and a white supremacist who advocated mass murder in the middle-east and genocide elsewhere.  Like the pre-Nazi Germans, the Brits were involved in a number of mass detentions with large numbers of murders during his lifetime and with his complete approval.  And all in the interest of British imperialism.   He either approved of or directly participated in events which led to the deaths of many civilians starting when he was young and continuing to his death.  Much of it in Africa,  India, and elsewhere.  He bragged of shooting at least three people in Sudan.  His imperial whims and legacies are still with us in places like Iraq and Jordan and elsewhere. 

I don't think anyone who was murdered by a Brit speaking English would consider themselves any less dead or their death any more desirable because their murderers spoke Brit style English.  You, of course, don't think, you absorb TV costume dramas.  

It has become interesting to me why it's OK with so many pseudo-liberals when the racist murderers and imperialists have Brit accents but if they have an American accent, especially one from the South or the mid-west, it's seen for what it is.  I wonder if that's not the real legacy of American public TV importing so much BBC crap.  

Those quotes above?  There are as bad if not worse lying out there to be seen by anyone who wants to do the research.  He had more than a little in common with Donald Trump.  

Update:  If you think what I said about the potato famine in Ireland in the 1840s was something that got fixed.  

Here are a few quotes from Churchill from 1943 in response to the horrific famine in Bengal, made far worse by British policy in India, not much different from the role Britain played in the Irish famine, though the death toll, estimated at 3 million was far larger. 

“If food is scarce, why isn’t Gandhi dead yet?”

“Relief would do no good. Indians breed like rabbits and will outstrip any available food supply.”

"Starvation of anyhow underfed Bengalis is less serious than that of sturdy Greeks."

That is pure Malthusian-Darwinist-Nazi style thinking.  Those three lines of ideological theory belong together.   Churchill was, obviously, ready to administer the deaths of millions of people if he thought it was in the interests of his people, that is the British aristocracy and the British monarchy.
