Genuine question: i understand this is a meme, but why does it always say "sweaty" insteady of "sweety"?

I think it stems from a tweet or something where someone acts smart but makes 1) a dumb point and 2) writes sweaty

I think it referred to sweaty basement nerds? It's how most libs conceive their opponents online.

The East India Company, one of the first major imperialist companies that went on to get military and governmental functions to loot the British colonies.

Together with the Dutch United East India Company, it is one of the most evil companies to ever exist for sure. They together looted, killed and destroyed Asia, Africa and South America and brought incredible wealth to Western Europe.

Edit: in The Netherlands we are actually thaught to be proud of this history, which is lacking any sort of commentary about how we completely fucked over entire countries.

Honestly, you can't go 5 minutes talking about Dutch history with a local without them talking about how the VOC was worth trillions of dollars and how proud they are of it. Like as if you'll see anyone from even the US bragging about Amazon's net worth as if it was a point of national pride.
