I love that you name-drop the US when it was the English, Spanish, Dutch, and French that raped every continent and genocided entire cultures before the idea of the United States even existed.
Ok. But the US did exist during westward expansion. America is a pretty modern look at colonialism. The "USA" territory was originally untouched by westward expansion. It therefore functions as a super recent, unmuddied, look at colonialism. It's a good example.
So basically they had enough examples to learn from, but completely ignored it and do the same?
