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.

Pi Colonialism

When math historians from the US and the West never fail to emphasize the contributions of white mathematicians on the development of the number π, with quasi-zero mention of inputs from their nonwhite counterparts.
With a large proportion of journal articles being published by co-authors from different nationalities or races, to what extent is pi colonialism still being practiced in academic publishing today?

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.

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.

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.
