@kim_siever Yes but only because in this context pre and post colonial refers to before and after colonialism *began*, not before or after it supposedly ended (because it has not ended).

I've got a really nasty scar on my ankle from doing dumb shit like this when I was younger. Follow the fucking safety guidelines, workers fought and died for you to have them in the first place.
