The level of ignorance in the west about colonialism is off the charts. The statement that former colonies were made far wealthier and more successful is just an outright lie. There isn't a single colony that became richer as a result of colonialism. HK & Australia don't count
Not long after World War II the West dissolved its empires and colonies and began sending colossal sums of taxpayer-funded aid to these former territories (despite have already made them far wealthier and more successful). The West opened its borders, a kind of reverse colonization, providing welfare and thus remittances, while extending to these newcomers and their families not only the full franchise but preferential legal and financial treatment over the native citizenry. The neoliberal experiment, at its core, has been a long self-punishment of the places and peoples that built the modern world.View quoted post on X
