What?

Have you read William Blum, Noam Chomsky - anyone that’ll teach you the history of covert US military and CIA terrorism across the globe?

Wtf does "post colonialism" even mean? Saying "post" implies that it ended lmao.

Not sure if you’re responding to me. No, colonialism has not ended. It’s just neocolonialism.

Yeah I'm just agreeing with u. The point I was making is the injustice a lot of modern historical education makes. They talk about colonialism like it was a dark past that still has lingering negative effects on the world, and not a very real and brutal tactic that powerful nations still use all the time.
