We should look into this and consider colonizing Louisiana to see if that shithole can come back.

Much of the same areas are still under colonialism by the Chinese, but they just don't know it.

China owns most of their governments because those small nations cannot repay the loans that were "given" to them by the Chinese for infrastructure deals, and now China owns them after they default.

They soulless Maoists still strip mine the land of all its vast resources, but they also don't give a Yuan one for government and societal structure like the French and Dutch and other Western powers did.

Whether you like it or not, European colonialism works for the uncivilized lands.

trying to remember who said it, but the quote I always think of in reference to black business ownership and black communities in the 20s to the 60s is:

the worse they treated us, the better we did for ourselves
the more they give us, the worse we do to ourselves
