colonialism

Exploitation of a dependent country or people for money and political gain. Tranfer of population to a new territory, where new arrivals live as permanent residents. It's a form of imperialism.
Colonialism is a form of slavery.

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.

When your fucking your girl in the ass exclusively and you decide that it might be a good place to live, so move in for a long period of time.

At which hour thy fucking thy wench in the rampallian exclusively and thee decideth yond t might beest a valorous lodging to liveth, so moveth in f'r a longeth p'riod of timeth.
Colin: Did you hear about shahyar and fatima?

Me: Oh Ass Colonialism?
Colin: Yes exactly.

Crypto-colonialism

Cryptocolonialism – A new breed of wealthy individuals that have amassed a fortune through cryptocurrency trading and mining that seek to re-domicile for advantageous tax treatment while unleashing their new found resources for purported positive impact.

More often than not Cryptocolonialists hail from San Francisco and exhibit that unique glitter pony unchecked optimism and fervor emblematic of the Singularity espousing technocrats endemic to the region. The naiveté of this movement is both endearing and makes you want to strangle Bambi at the same time. The positivity and assuredness of this demographic's ability to affect change is as strong and palpable as the spirit of the frontiersman in the days of Manifest Destiny when they so righteously slaughtered in the name of progress.
Crypto-colonialism is alive and well in Puerto Rico where droves of Crypto-colonialists are flocking to reimagine and resettle the island in a fashion similar to Burning Man and San Francisco in all of their glory.

Hey Slim, people in mexico have no idea how to make a chalupa, so I used some culinary colonialism to show them where to put the baja sauce.

Coca-Colonialism

American culture & products spreading throughout the world, like Coca Cola. . .
On my trip to Austrialia last year, if they drove on the other side of the road I'd think I was back home in America -- a perfect example of Coca-Colonialism!

celebrity colonialism

Superstars (like the doofusy-looking 'supercouple' Brangelina), deciding to go to poor countries (like Namibia, not Muritania, foos!), to fulfill their super-sized egos (to have their daughter -- full supername 'Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt Bramz Zahara'-- delivered by C-section)!

Eat the super-rich!
That is what you get when a Hollywoodized mundo-trash Thirdworld country thinks it can be made famous by two baby-mongering celebtards like Brad Pitt and his whoreney wife Angelina Jolie (I wonder if these names are even their born-with names?), go strutting across its dirty streets... what neogonzojournalists has called 'celebrity colonialism'!
