Eh, at this point that means nothing, let's see:

If it's Russia, the biggest colonialist country in the world, using Neo Nazi "PMC", or trying to annex neighboring countries, it's not colonialism, it's "liberation from colonialists".

If it's China doing mass acquisitions of state and private assets, it's not colonialism, it's "development".

If it's a western country doing what ever, it's colonialism lol it's such a dumb propaganda trope.

So the conclusion is that the new western colonialism is actually looking like a pretty good option, and shouldn't have such a bad connotation, perhaps it should be embraced in this new world order no?
