@@Besthinktwice I read all of your comment here and on another thread.
There's never a legitimate reason for colonisation, more 'advanced' or not.
It's your return to this 'advanced,' 'better,' etc that just sounds like western chauvinism to me.
Again an odd argument for someone against colonisation on the left, or not.
Assessments about which culture is 'better' than another depends on what is being used as the yardstick.
How about not better, nor worse but different?
All of which I believe is beside the point:
Colonisation is bad.
We should all support decolonisation and being upset about acknowledging other human's contributions to human knowledge and culture seems very blinkered.
Seriously are we going to have a culture off, so you're more comfortable with decolonisation‽
The Chinese didn't invent anything before the west?
Very accurate astronomical data in base 60 in the Americas didn't exist and wasn't destroyed by the more 'advanced' Spanish‽
Egypt didn't build anything impressive and we still don't know how they did it all?
Native Americans and other first peoples know nothing about agriculture, ecosystems‽
I'm sorry, if all you've got is decolonisation is good, but we were and are the more civilised, then this is my last reply 🤠💜
