      I'm fully uninformed on this subject, so take this as nothing more than an observation and a bit if pondering. If I'm off base, that's fine. I plan to read up regardless.
      Colonialism is certainly in play. The thing that jumps out at me more, though, is the hard tilt toward god, or religion, or whatever you want to call it. Why does that so often seem to be the case in these scenarios? I can't help but wonder if it's more a result of these situations, or actually the cause. At least in part, anyway.
      I tend to think cause. Like I said, though, that's an assumption from someone who can't make any sense of the idea of god. I'd be curious to hear thoughts from someone who has faith.

Much of poorer non-western countries (Australia being counted as western) can be viewed as colonies with distributed ownership by transnational corporations. Take my home country of Russia, for example. The west in general and EU in particular supported the regime of Putin up until 2 years ago, which included nice business deals where they bought what was stolen from Russians and a supply of weapons "for internal use only", so that the business can keep flowing. Now Russians who had no say in this are blamed and taken of the list of humans possessing any rights (many of the sanctions against simple Russians within the EU clearly violate ECHR). And they still buy stolen Russian resources (especially ridiculous in the EU, who declared Putin illegitimate president)! How is this not colonialism?
