Vernacular colonialism

The process through which black slang and vernacular is co opted to become part of "internet culture". Terms like "simp" "woke" and "lit" that have been used for years in the black community and black Twitter become mainstream, leading white people to think the terms belong to them, ignorant of their origins.

Nativizing Settler Colonialism

The worst type of settler Colonialism. Here the colonizers not only steal the land and kick out the natives but also brainwash their future generations that they are the "true natives". Thus the descendants of the colonizers believe that they are the "natives" that no matter how much someone tries they won't be convinced.

A notable example of Nativizing Settler Colonialism is Arab colonization of Israel.
Palestinians are the real colonizers. Read the history books properly. Jews are the true indigestion people of Israel. The Palestinians aren't colonizers themselves but they are descended from arab colonizers who invaded Israel and stole the land. Zionism is a Decolonization movement but due to brainwashing the Palestinians saw the true natives ,Jews as colonizers and most of the world naturally bought the Palestinian side of the story. This is a popular example of Nativizing Settler Colonialism.

Colonial Marine Syndrome [CMS]

A thought process held by many film and game producers and makers, in which they want the new product to be like a prexisting product in the thought that it will make the product sell by principle. This rarely works and almost always kills the product from the start. The term comes from the video game "Aliens: Colonial Marines" in which the producers and makers wanted to make a call of duty game with the alien franchise
J: Hey did you hear about the new monster hunter movie?

L: The, WHAT, Oh man i love that game I wonder what its about
J: The description said it was about a military squad that discover a new world that evil monsters are trying to get to the normal world and take over
L: That honestly just sounds like Pacific rim with a monster hunter coat of paint
J: Oh than its a case of Colonial Marine Syndrome CMS
L: Uh, YEAH
