In reference to colonialism and imperialism and the highly problematic attitudes of civilizing as “progress” through destruction and killing, Lindqvist writes, “This was an attitude with roots in both Christian faith and Enlightenment ideas of equality. But during nineteenth-century European expansion, another attitude appeared. Genocide began to be regarded as the inevitable byproduct of progress (122-3).” How does Lindqvist establish connections between the acts of colonialism/imperialism to genocide? What are the implications of his critique of religion? Exemplify your analysis with at least one reference to the text. 2. Lindqvist writes, “Auschwitz was the modern industrial application of a policy of extermination on which European world domination had long since rested (160).” He also stated, “And when what had been done in the heart of darkness was repeated in the heart of Europe, no one recognized it. No one wished to admit what everyone knew (172).” What are the distinct implications of these two statements? What is the moral crises at hand in being aware of historical connections to contemporary problems? What is the immensely significant problem at hand in the maxim “exterminate all the brutes”?
