I’ve been seeing #Swedengate and have enjoyed that it’s allowed others to share — and the info be received — that Sweden (as other Nordic European countries) have racist colonial histories that persist.

I saw a response saying: “we give billions in aid to poor countries”

and…
“What happens in aid is similar to what happens in military expenditure. When the govt. spends on national defense, most of the money stays in the [country] to pay wages and purchase equipment, supplies, and services; in this way the defense budget helps stimulate the economy…”
“[the] foreign aid budget is not a loss, but rather a contribution to the domestic economy”

— still from Carty; and relevant to note here because it’s really tiring to hear European + Anglo-settler state citizens bemoan, or uplift, their aid contributions to the less fortunate
