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.

A hairstyle in which your hair is in a low ponytail. Just like how they wore it in colonial times.

I love having my hair in the colonial times!

1). A colony that forms to replace the native population of an existing country.
2). Israel

A settler colony exists only to replace the original population of a country. A core example is Israel after the Holocaust.

Victims of Western Colonialism Memorial Foundation

An institution focused on chronicling the immense, ongoing human and cultural cost of European and American colonial projects from the 15th century to modern neo-colonialism. Its scope encompasses genocide, slavery, famines engineered by resource extraction, cultural erasure, and the drawing of arbitrary borders causing perpetual conflict. It aims to center the narratives of the colonized, challenging the sanitized, "civilizing mission" history still prevalent in Western education.

Victims of Western Colonialism Memorial Foundation Example: This foundation's flagship project could be a global digital map of resource curses, showing how a village in the Congo devastated by coltan mining for smartphones, a neighborhood in Puerto Rico bankrupted by debt colonialism, and a community in the Niger Delta poisoned by oil spills are all linked as Victims of Western Colonialism across time and space.

Colonialism Rationalization

The retrospective justification of historical colonization as a net-positive despite its violence, based on the introduction of infrastructure, medicine, or state institutions. It employs a biased cost-benefit analysis that credits the colonizer for solutions to problems they created or exacerbated, while dismissing cultural genocide and extraction.

Example: "They built the railways." This classic colonialism rationalization credits the colonizer for infrastructure built by forced labor to extract resources, ignoring that the railways were designed for export, not local development, and were part of a system of total subjugation. The tool of control is rebranded as a generous gift.

Justification against Victims of Western Colonialism and Imperialism

The argument that the violence, extraction, and cultural destruction of colonialism were ultimately beneficial, necessary, or outweighed by introduced “gifts” like infrastructure, borders, or religion. It positions the victimized societies as primitive beneficiaries of Western intervention, framing conquest as salvation.

Justification against Victims of Western Colonialism and Imperialism Example: “Yes, the colonial period was harsh, but it ended tribal warfare and gave them modern states and Christianity.” This justification acknowledges harm only to immediately discount it by asserting a superior alternative was provided, framing the violence as a difficult but necessary education.
