As long as the West won't collectively, in a structured way, compensate for exploiting and destroying whole nations and societies, for hundreds of years of cruelty, for literally inspiring hitler to try to implement the Generalplan Ost by the effectiveness and scale of the American ethnic clensing and enslavement of tens of millions of people - it's nothing but pure hypocrisy.

No. What I mean is the fact that the modern Western civilization is responsible for the horrible conditions present in the countries where modern slave labor comes from, and collectively, as society who benefited from horrible crimes that those societies were victim to, we do nothing to make up for hundreds of years of injustice and exploitation, we merely protest when someone tries to repeat our "get rich at others' expense" scheme.

Ok, do you know that the people who decided to go and work in atrocious conditions in Qatar decided to do so because it was attractive, in comparision to what they could expect in their own countries? Why do you think their countries are in such incredibly bad situtation, that people decide to emigrate from them to work in Qatar?

You're confronting someone who does 0,000001% of horrific shit that your nation did, start with yourself maybe?

You enjoy the benefits of "transgressions of your ancestors" every day, you shouldn't run away from responsiblity for its consequences.

He's not wrong, but Western Europe, not to mention the US that achieved its position by hundreds of years of genocide and exploitation of slave power are not ready for this conversation.

By the same logic you should condemn and boycott every institution and event organised by UK, the US, Canada, Belgium, France, Germany or The Netherlands. All of those countries are built on blood of slaves, the existence of some of them in a prosperous form is only possible thanks to extermination of the whole populations and ethnicities. None of them, except Germany in the small part, have even tried to reimburse the harm they have done in the last few hundred years. But you can’t do that, that’s where you come from.
