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.

Get the Colonialism Rationalization mug.i.e. any Gen Z'er or Gen Y'er who espouses the now obsolete & prejudiced views of her parents, grandparents & ancestors, etc. who likely profiteered financially, socially & culturally from colonialism, yet presenting a facade of inclusivity and progressiveness through appropriation, by attending yoga lessons, drinking matcha lattes and eating avocado toast with their parents' money.
The pseudo socialites of London were in their colonial girl eras, organising summer vacations to the hoary and sinister lands of the swarthy skinned uncouth, to bring with them enlightenment...financed by their wealthy fathers...lacking only in manpower from human rights and labour legislation that no longer permitted indentured servitude...

Get the Colonial Middle School mug.Colonial Middle School is a place that will make you want to kill yourself. You will not meet anyone nice here unless you are a 5’1 busty Latina with quadruple f cups, a white or white washed bony girl yielding Starbucks, a privileged Caucasian male with the same copy and paste ice cream scoop haircut, or a black kid who leans into the stereotypical black boy/girl stereotype for the amusement of said white males. If you don’t like any of these descriptions, I would recommend running for the hills FAR FAR away from this school. If you’re already enrolled, prepare to be outcast, a lifetime of therapy, or death. If you still decide to come for the academic aspect, you will be sorely disappointed. The teachers refuse to teach and have an outburst when the students test scores reflect this. If you happen to meet a teacher who is nice to you and CAN teach, they are most likely a pedophile. Not only this, I would not feed any of this school food to Jeffery Epstein. It is often expired, undercooked, or is simply “straight up ASS.” The bathrooms are also FILTHY. If there aren’t popular kids slurping on geek bars like their lives depend on it giving you dirty looks for simply needing to use the bathroom, there are shit, period blood, or piss on the floors and walls. In short, do not attend this school if you do not have the funds for rehab after graduation.

These are fighting words. You should be outraged, or so ashamed of yourself, that you run and get wild game, preferably venison. Moose meat is ideal and hard to 'get'.
1 moose (you can stay for now)
2 moose ( all her relatives are going to come and meet you, to welcome you into the family and is that fresh moose meat?)
5 moose (you are marrying someone one in the tribe. The moose will be gone. You can have some one of two ways a) You will literally have to go rez home to rez home at dinner time and have dinner with that family and your 'new fiance' to get some of your moose meat back. This will take several days. b) When you and your girlfriend go outside late morning the Chief will have fired up the community barbecue with the whole tribe as he praises his tribal daughter for bring home a good hunter and provider. Her new husband.(that's you tugar.))
Married by the chief in informal tribe of people and witnessed by every one.
