    That’s why I was careful to choose the word “colonialism” (which is what the comment I replied to was implying) instead of just “colony.”

      My point was the original commenter never said it was an example of colonialism.

        The original commenter wrote:

        Having colonies in the year 2023 is ridiculous though, I don’t know why so many comments act like Britain is in the right here in any way whatsoever.

        If you can’t see how that heavily implies colonialism, I don’t know what more to tell you.
