I see this, don't you?

What I see is that any form of contemporary capitalism can appear to be largely justified by means of deflection of guilt away from present day capitalists to the 'colonials' of yore. It is THEY who are deemed to be truly evil, with values and motivations that are 300 percent reprehensible. By contrast, capitalism markets itself as belonging to a 'West' whose values have been completely regenerated, though condemning and distancing itself from 'colonialism'. Capitalist raping and plundering is now morally pure, according to this understanding. That is because all of the evil belongs to the past, when people didn't know any better and were 'colonials'.
