I thought that this comparison is pretty funny so I thought I share it. So the first episode of the eight season of mlp is coming out tomorrow. I know there was a thread here on the trailer. I as many others here saw the diverse creatures in the cast and yes, yes it is not real. It is not like how to diversify a cast by exchanging white actors with blacks and arabs and so on. But I think it is important to have in mind that it is the thought that counts and that the reason to have this new diverse cast in mlp is probably for propaganda reasons. For what other reasons could there be to do this? Now they have a good setup to make a bunch of, "Diversity is good" morals.
And yes, one could argue that heart-warming eve was of similar character. A few counter arguments to that could be the facts that they: One, ponies have more incommon witheachother than since they are all ponies; two, they literally lived in a symbiotic state with eachother before they founded Equestria since they needed eachother to live (Unicorns, night/day, Pegasi, the weather, earth ponies, food); and third, even after Equstria was founded the ponies of the three tribes still kept themselves mostly to themselves, ewhat I mean is, they kept their traditions amongst themselves (But as far as I know this new cast memebers or this new main six might do that as well) (Also this last reason might be more of and headcannon I have cconfused with cannon). Yes, yes. Autism
Anyway, I have started to see this trailer in a different light, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDRTJz-Gqr8
It feels like TS is intending to perform some sort of colonialism. I guess that this is not a new thought but ponies have really been teaching other sentient species about friendship before. RD and PP literally taught the Griffins in Gryphonstone to help others without getting paid for it. I couldn't make a more anti-Semitic joke myself The entire changeling hive. The yaks.
So now Twilight has decided to teach enlighten these non-ponies lesser races about the values of friendship Christianity and civilization.
You can see what I mean. Just replace the word friendship in the trailer with civilization.
What I wanted to say is that i think it is funny from a meme perspective. Or what do you guys think?

Plenty of liberals view races the same way as racists do, the only difference is they see it as their duty to "uplift" them, it isn't surprising to see these ideas bleed into their work.

As much as I appreciate your optimism swedeanon, its painfully obvious this episode will be propaganda pushing for multiculturalism . The entire writing cast for this new season are nothing but sjw leftists. There were episodes last season with leftist propaganda such as the one where they converted the last changeling that wanted to hold on to the tradition of his former group, only for Starlight and others to persuade him to let go and embrace the new culture (sound familiar?) and some others. I would love for the episode to be like what you are saying but if it was, it would sort of give more hints of expanding influence of Equestria's culture instead of (((multiculturalism)))

Colonialism was inevitable and couldn't be stopped. Anytime superior nations have the chance to claim new lands and resources for their banner, its hard to pass on an opportunity like that and Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and the such seized the opportunity before any other of those said nations could grab it all up. The future at the time could wait until later.

Doing things half-assed is always a mistake. If you're going to invade and colonize a place already inhabited by a native population, you have to either kill them off or drive them out, you don't just absorb them into your own population and hope they'll just assimilate. If the moral ramifications of that are an issue then it's probably best to just leave that continent alone. It's the same deal as with the slaves, the mistake wasn't slavery, the mistake was not shipping them all back once it was decided that we weren't going to be doing slavery anymore.

There’s nothing wrong with immigration as long as they adapt to the society they’re joining. That’s why citizenship through service works. Letting rapeugees walk all over your citizens and desecrating the land with their lack of willingness to integrate is the issue. Besides, if England and the French didn’t out Jew the Arabs with the Sykes-Picot agreement, America wouldn’t have to worry about the Middle (of nowhere) East.

Yes, I saw that alternate-history video too.
You can the UK and France making things "Easier" for the mudslimes when it comes to making their barbaric stone-age religion """conservative""" again. You know, openly barbaric, rather than "Still openly barbaric but the bloodiest parts are ignored by the cafateria muslims".
Islam is a problem, Islam is cancer, and it was warmongering pissed-off sandnigger "Prophets" and "Powerful houses" of jews who turned the country into a war-torn shithole, all we did was draw some lines in the shit-filled sand ahead of time.
If the Sykes-Picot agreement never happened, it wouldn't matter because the Middle East would still be an islamic shithole, the shit would just be at an "Acceptable-ish" level. If it wasn't for Islam, combined with America's "No likey when whitey rules populaces that can't be trusted to rule themselves" attitude, the Sykes-Picot agreement would have only helped the place.

Liberals took over the show and decided to make their final season before their soft-reboot niggerizes Applejack all about diversity.
>Diverse ponies go to whitey country and live happily in it because fuck the evil racists who'd keep these diverse ponies out. Haha this'll make those fucking alt-right white supremacists so mad!
That's how liberals viewed this, and they are too stupid to realize what they write, as usual. Just as Wakanda was an ethnostate with strong borders and a strict immigration policy and ban on foreign aid, this season accidentally supports the idea that all cultures should throw away their tribal superstitions and embrace the perfection of white culture.

Maybe so, but a good foundation can make a stable house, whether the agreement did or didn’t occur there would still be problems. Both America, Britain and any country giving a damn about the Middle East don’t care about the blood in the sand. The snake must eat it’s tail to survive, I’m hopelessly optimistic things could have been better if it wasn’t for (((them))) driving home the parasitic needs in our lives. My issue is the fact that Britain seems to be the reason issues from the twentieth century bleed into today. Sykes-Picot agreement poured fuel on a wildfire, The Treaty of Versailles cause economic hell and when Germany stopped dragging heels got wrestled back into place and, now-a-days they are as divided as ever being either blindly ignoring the terrorist attacks or spiting national hate against people without a home all cause of the shitskins incharge ruin the lives of those fleeing war and carnage.
TL;DR Feudal religious bastards don’t coexist in the modern world and I’m 90% sure the “Great” in Britain is self imposed

This is not how it will play out in the show, from the song alone, it's clear that the writers are making a push for globalism, not colonisation.

I would say that colonialism was not inevitable, and was more or less a cause by the mercantilist policy dominating Europe. As opposed to other dogmas like the Physiocrats. Mercantilist trade theory was one of the drivers that influenced land expansion which at some instances, such as the Spanish empire experiencing devaluation due to a surge in gold and silver/or finding it in places without mines, that may have hurt than helped. Along with the religious missonary desires added. So, essentially there is two main factors to me that we could have done without. Today, there have been major economies that have been proven to rise without the need to dominate in trade nor subjugate other nations, as well as evidence that colonialism was not the most enriching venture:

https://youtu.be/F5CiA2tR7TU
Provide that with the nations that never relied on colonialism at all (i.e Germany) during the time when others did to build empires.
Now, I am not saying that people would not conquer others, it perhaps could be feasible that only Europeans could conquer each other throughout the end of time, maybe leaving religion could be at fault a tad. One of the major reasons for earlier state formation after all was theology. So, to controversially put it, Christianity in its all encompassing nature of a One True God compelled empire building not only overseas but all around Europe. Not that it is the only reason (Rome and Greece being outliers), but many monarchs saw themselves as though they were backed by a god when they sought to conquer.
