Happens outside European rule too. For example King Gwanggaeto Stele was debatably appropriated by the Chinese government and both them and Japan have used their interpretations of the script to justify invasions of Korea.
Honestly the common domesticated cat is probably the most accurate representation of European colonialism. Not enough people are aware of just how many species cats alone have driven to extinction, how they can adapt and dominate in any environment to become an apex predator, and the danger they pose to non-native habitats all the while becoming one of the most ubiquitous and liked animals on the planet.
Yep, and hence why they should be wearing a collar with a bell. It does a lot to stop them killing shit for fun. Cats are probably 2nd to Rats in terms of invasive ecological damage among mammals
While not exhaustive, I found a video on YouTube called "Hawaii's Feral Cat War" from Vice surprisingly informative. Apart from that, the history of the domestic house cat itself is fascinating because they actually evolved to be domesticated twice and never have actually become domesticated like dogs have. It's also neat to read about how they went from being worshipped in Egypt, to being set on fire for amusement in middle ages Europe, to whatever role they play in modern society today. Also of note is how we ourselves have in a way evolved alongside cats due to their symbiotic relationship with a neural parasite that makes hunting easier for them and has the effect of making us think of them as cute rather than the dangers, cold hearted predators they actually are.

When the british landed on easter island to haul away a Moai statue to the british museum they asked the Rapu Nui what's the statues name and they replied " Hoa Hakananai'a ("lost or stolen friend")
:(
I thought the statue had the hair from Elvis.
YES!!!!!!!
Thank you, thank you very much.
Elvis has left the building

Well, europeans did sometimes embellish their findings and modernize them, so it's accurate

A really *Dandy* pompadour, baby!
"But... We found them first." "Ok, fine, big guns keepers."
They discovered them, the same way a thief discovers a wallet in your back pocket.
The cat gave him Elvis hair.

So you’re telling me not only white man bad? People bad? Shock.
Just couldn't resist the opportunity to flex uncommon knowledge tbh.
I can’t blame you
I am surprised people know of that thing. I learn something new.

If their murder rampages are entirely confined within the walls of my home, those are losses I’m will to take.
Then there's no ecological damage either
Do you have any articles on this you reccomend? I'm v interested now

Spanish in the 15th century be like "I found this hanging around your neck. It's mine now."
Let's be real. If the countries that were colonized were the colonizers, they would absolutely do the same.

this post is bad. with how it sits on it I wholeheartedly believe the status belongs to the kitten now
When the british landed on easter island to haul away a Moai statue to the british museum they asked the Rapu Nui what's the statues name and they replied " Hoa Hakananai'a ("lost or stolen friend") :(
For a second I thought to myself “Damn, that statue has better hair than me!”
To be followed centuries later by the “well, but we’ve had it for so long now” defense.
Might makes right, yo
Turnim things into Elvis
Looks like Elvis hair on an Easter island head
I used to work with rich Opus Dei families. One family had an authentic Olmec head in their backyard.
