I am referring to two things: Firstly the idea that the locals in countries such as *ahem* Britain and the USA *ahem* recently made terrible decisions according to a very large number of outside, and also inside, observers. With the added bonus that one of these actually was a colony before and the other had/has foreign rulers of sorts. And secondly I was jokingly referring to the last German attempt to make the world its colony.

I would obviously never bring up the idea that colonial rule could be more terrible than a dictatorship because that would mean I hate myself according to certain people, so maybe the second reference wasn't so jokingly after all.
