Colonization is exploitation and parasitism.
So, yes, it’s always bad.

Hello NPC.
That is one hell of a tandem kink
The answer to the first question is, we do not know and cannot know.
The answer to the second question is No, it’s not always bad. If North Korea fell apart and south Korea colonized it, the people would almost certainly benefit significantly.
Thanks for the rational response.
Great point about North Korea.
Liberation is not the same as Colonization.
The Allies of WW2 liberated nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, those are not considered colonies.
If North Korea fell apart and south Korea colonized it, the people would almost certainly benefit significantly.
If the North Koreans welcomed it, absolutely, but if they wanted to rebuild in their own way, you’re back to forcing one people’s will on other people.
I guess the “good” colonization you’re thinking of, is just a friendly alliance or merger. I think colonization by it’s nature is against the will of the indigenous.
But, I’m barely familiar on the terminology or the subject.
Maybe if someone finds undiscovered land with no people around, I guess that’s still colonization, but nobody’s being forced out or assimilated. That wouldn’t be bad, I suppose.
What is your vision of colonialism, OP?
No it isn’t.
for whom ? the colonist ? the colonizer ? or the colonized ?
