Colonization was awful, but decolonization was also horrible.

Do you mean that it happened or the way in which it happened? Because the latter is a fair point, the former... are you drunk?

If it has ever done any good it remains to be demonstrated. The bad it has caused is blatant.

On the bright side, they got resources and tech from the European nations.  I maintain that German colonialism caused minimal damage, and they treated their colonies with the most respect, save for maybe the Scandanavian colonies in Greenland and Iceland

Shut up.
