I do agree that this feeling points to something true, even though it may be hard to define it. I have some half-baked thoughts but im mainly curious to hear what others are thinking of this

    Absolutely. Colonialism’s biggest goal was to homogenise according to the coloniser culture, by force, genocide, any means. It is intended to erase languages, traditions, and identity before installing their own, so the colonized are easy to control. Just look at how the US, Canada, Australia. New Zealand, and Hawai’i are considered fully white countries, despite white people being there for less than a hundredth of the time human activity has existed in those places.
