Her points sounded like the kind of shit you'd hear Sebastian Gorka espouse. Is she hanging out with these types or something?

Like, you can have technological exchange without colonialism. There's running water in countries that weren't colonised as well, it's not a prerequisite. They could've had running water and owned all of the resources in Australia if the British hadn't decided that just planting a flag somewhere meant you owned a place.
