       It's was like "Hold up. How is it that everywhere Europe(a) goes people get massacred and resources snatched? This is advanced?"

       @Adam_Cadmon1 imagine what your reaction will be when you learn what your kind of savages are doing in your own continent, NIGGER

       @axoplasm @cam @Adam_Cadmon1 I'd quibble a lot of these, the post WWII demilitarisation of Japan was effectively (and remains) a US imperial project, ie colonised by European settlers generations on. The house of Saud got gave Arabia and maintained in power by the US, British and French and  good shout they enact colonialism for them still. Tonga is a British satellite. Doughty Afghanistan though. Ever impoverished, contested even by its indigenes. The eater of overreaching empires.

       @anilmc @axoplasm @cam Yeah, a lot of this seems to hinge on specific definitions of colonization. Shall we agree that going forward that colonization means successful and continuous occupation of a foreign territory for the purpose of resource extraction and or subjugation of the indigenous population?

       @Adam_Cadmon1 @axoplasm @cam Even then what counts as successful, which territory, whole or partial, how long must it last to be continous, are countries no longer under a viceroy but still controlled to the extent regime change intervention is common (eg afrofranc zone) considered independent? The first European colonies are still conquered (and their populations were considered off white at the time); Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Catalunya, Basque country, Corfu etc?

       @anilmc @Adam_Cadmon1 @axoplasm @cam some would count as colonized some wouldn't, I'd say the line between colonization and simply separatism is the level of violence and economic exploitation involved. So Ireland would've been colonized, but Scotland would not. They were partners in the empire and now they want out, which is their right, I support them in that, but it's not an anticolonial movement
