SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: if you kill or remove the original population and replace them entirely with Europeans, the Europeans will be wealthy.

You just made the argument against yourself and don't realize it.

The 13 colonies. Australia. New Zealand. South Africa. Rhodesia.

Who lived in those places before the settlers arrived?

Who owned the land that generated the wealth you're pointing to?

Who was killed, displaced, and erased to make room for the prosperity you're using as a data point?

You didn't name colonies that became wealthy.

You named the graves of civilizations whose wealth was taken, whose land was stolen, and whose people were either exterminated or reduced to landless labor on their own continent.

The Aboriginals did not get wealthier when Australia was "settled."

The Zulu did not get wealthier when South Africa was colonized.

The Cherokee did not get wealthier when the 13 colonies became a republic.

What you are actually saying is: if you kill or remove the original population and replace them entirely with Europeans, the Europeans will be wealthy.

Yes. Correct. That is what genocide followed by inheritance looks like.

That is not a defense of colonialism.

That is its indictment.

The 13 colonies that became the United States.  Any place in the Americas, actually, if you're just looking, a your post implies, at wealth.  The concessions in China, while they lasted.  Australia.  New Zealand.   South Africa.  Rhodesia.  Siberia.

Now note the ones that became
