Yeah.
As though the two cannot be distinguished.
It should be a relic of the 20th century, right?

The idea of the way that we...
fight the wrongs of colonialism is through creating post-colonial nation states and ignoring the fact that many of those states, many of the boundaries they find themselves within include a diverse range of identities, like you said, of many people, including those brought against their will to those places, and that many of those identities don't line up with the national identities, and it almost always results in a change of the oppressor rather than the absence of oppression.
Yeah.
I mean, you could literally just look at the entire history of independent Nigeria.
Yes.
But one very clear example of that.
But getting back to the comparisons, right?
I don't see an explicitly titled ideology behind the founding of Liberia beyond settler colonialism, I suppose.

They were still in a subordinate position in some ways.

Instead, they required a state of their own.
