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.

Ass Colonialism 

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.

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.

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'!

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
