This is what the academic echo chamber looks like when discussing colonialism. So many unfounded assertions go unchallenged. It's a pep rally not an academic discussion.

UN-forced decolonization of 1950s /60s continues to pay big dividends to the peoples of Chad, Somalia, Congo, Mozambique, and Central African Republic this week as hundreds of thousands displaced and thousands dead. At what point do we reject the "public lie" of decolonization?

Our awesome board member Elizabeth Weiss causing a run on smelling salts at an academic conference by arguing for, wait for it, science!

Historical ignorance about apartheid South Africa is profound. Watch Dr. Eric Louw unravel the complexities here.

Assuming BLM founder Cullors is maniacally anti-colonial (a good assumption, no?) and wants a place in the Caribbean, then she should buy a house in Haiti. Why would she want, like Paul Krugman, a place in a country with such horrible colonial legacies as Bermuda or the Bahamas?

Or focus on pre-colonial mayhem, including civil war, cannibalism, slavery, woman trafficking, tyranny, forced starvation, illiteracy, and institutional racism.

The UN - the Human Rights Council of which contains China, Uzbekistan, and Saudi Arabia - thinks that a top priority is investigating the human rights legacy of empire. Here's a thought - concentrate on what's happening now rather than what happened 200 years ago.

An immensely important initiative in Britain to wrest back authority in making complex historical judgements from the Woke Warriors who have seized the National Trust. Please support them in any way you can. @nationaltrust

Ethiopia is the archetype of anticolonial utopianism despite being a century old human catastrophe. It still whips up anti-colonial frenzies to defend its gross governance failures. Let's send Standing Rock lunatics to defend it's new dam.

As Marian Tupy shows here, anti-colonialism is both empirically wrong and morally indefensible in its core claims about "Western oppression" and "Third World victimization." Who pays the price for this Grand Delusion?

The pro-Nazi sentiments of leading Arab, African, Asian, and Indian nationalists is well-documented. But it is a fly in the ointment of virtuous anti-colonialism.

Here comes voodoo psychology pretending to be a force for progress. Big breakthroughs include: "Decolonial theory asserts that the human mind does not exist on its own, but rather, it exists within a rich and complex social context." Wowza!

Another racist screed from the anti-colonial lobby, arguing that Benin's blood soaked king was a noble ruler, his victims mere cultural objets. Demolished by the sage of Oxford, Dr. Bigger. @NigelBiggar

The Third World Quarterly continues to do penance for accidently publishing my article that violated the sacred doctrine and is publishing ridiculous articles full of illogical, self-contradictory anti-colonial venom such as the attached. Pity Nigeria!

When it takes amateur bloggers just a few seconds to demolish the celebrated Woke nonsense of a tenured Stanford historian with an endowed chair, you understand the legitimation crisis of the contemporary university and its waning claims to expertise.

You know your people are in trouble when they respond to their delusions of victimization by colonialism with a delusional Hollywood world.

This article was scrubbed from a New Zealand newspaper after Maori nationalists complained. Their complaint is linked. Behold the future of a decolonized West.
