Have you noticed that many colonized places tend to have a kind of admiration and worship for the colonizers, and the colonization gives them a sense of superiority, which is similar to the superiority that some people lick their butts to Westerners now.
I think this is caused by an inferiority complex, servility, and a distorted shogunate mentality.
They are extremely envious of the colonizers who can do whatever they want, extremely admire the power of the colonizers, and extremely hope that they can become such people, so they have infinite admiration for the colonizers, and at the same time, because of their inferiority and servility, they have become proud of their experience of being colonized. In reality, even though he has become independent, he still feels that he is a slave of the colonizers in his heart.
There are also more nuanced reasons why colonized places have reverence for colonizers:
Cultural influences: Colonizers often brought their own culture, values, and institutions, which influenced the way of life and ideology of the colonized to some extent. Some colonized people may perceive the colonizer's culture as more advanced and modern, leading to a sense of reverence.
Economic benefits: Colonizers often use the resources of the colonized to develop their own economies, which may lead to some colonized people obtaining material benefits such as employment opportunities, educational opportunities, etc. These benefits may make some of the colonized feel grateful to the colonizers.
Political power: Colonizers often had great political power, which can make some colonized feel helpless and powerless. However, some colonized may perceive cooperating with the colonizer as a way to gain more power and benefits, creating a sense of reverence for the colonizer.
Social status: In some societies, cooperating with colonizers may improve the social status of an individual or family. Some colonized people may feel that bonding with the colonizers or gaining their recognition can lead to more opportunities and honors, creating a sense of reverence for the colonizers.
Of course, it is important to note that not all colonized people will develop a sense of reverence for the colonizers, and not all colonized people will recognize or accept the existence of the colonizers. Different people have different experiences, values, and cultural backgrounds, so attitudes towards colonizers will vary from person to person.
