*created

The internet wasn't some terra nullius that America took over.




You can create something and have it be colonised too.


If you created it, then you're not colonizing it in any meaningful sense of the word (you are using the word to invoke implications of historical atrocities, etc.)


You can't create all of it, that's the point. But you can create it, and colonise everything else that others create.

>(you are using the word to invoke implications of historical atrocities, etc.)

No, I'm using it to invoke it's actual definition and the meaning it holds. Not everyone is an American political weirdo.
