Why? The problem with colonization is that it disrupted the holistic growth of national communities like we experienced in XVIII to XIX century. We&#x27;ve &quot;grown up&quot; since then, recognising the competitive advantage of exploiting talents regardless of cultural provenance; but we couldn&#x27;t do the latter without going through the former process and recognising its limits. Colonised countries were blocked from experiencing a similar process.<p>No doublethink involved, as long as you see history as a continuum, rather than believing in a fixed set of norms (typically your own, no offense) as an absolute ideal &quot;best&quot; transcending space and time.
