@bodhipaksa The colonized mindset can also mutate into the wannabe-colonizer mindset, as we're seeing with mass property-hoarding and rental exploitation in a housing emergency.
The linguistic shame diminishes, but slowly. Sharing my appreciation for and interest in Irish English dialect is a longstanding aim of my blog.

@stancarey I'd never thought of Neoliberalism as colonialism, but it is. It used to be a powerful country taking over a weaker one. Now it's powerful capitalists taking over all countries' political systems. They buy off the government, change the laws in their favor, and then take control of the entire economy with the aim of owning everything and having us all dependent on them. It's simultaneously capitalism, colonialism, and feudalism.
