When Western civilisation spread across the world, the world didn’t react in one way.
Don’t tell that to the school teachers and professors who – ahistorically – say every indigenous culture was noble and enlightened, and met with those mean white people with tears and sadness.
Vanuatu was colonised by the British and the French. When I visited there a decade ago, the natives loved the British and French. The colonists brought churches, schools, roads and hospitals. What’s not to love?
Modern New Zealand pays a lot of respect to Maori culture. That might be because Kiwis are chill – or it might be because the Maori aren’t. They have to respect indigenous culture because the colonists never fully conquered the country.
Then there’s Australia and America, which weren’t great to the natives.
My point is that colonisation isn’t one thing. It comes in many forms.
Not that the wokies would ever admit that. Then again, given their quest to eradicate every culture that deviates even slightly from their worldview, they have incentives to narrow the definition of colonisation.
Oh well.
It’s almost as if every topic has nuance.
And that wokies are deranged hypocrites.
There’s not a lot you can do about that except be the best version of yourself you can be.
