Here is an example of how decolonization in one field can end up increasing colonization in another field. Just days ago we thought we had seen a sign of hope:

Now what we thought was an icon of decolonization is being used in China to sell WESTERN WINE FFS:

So I looked it up:

Quote
China's consumption of red wine has grown by 136% since 2008

Since around 2008, many small convenience stores have begun to carry a small selection of wines, with specialty wine shops emerging in cities throughout the country.



Still, this gives us the chance to discuss something else: alcohol decolonization. Since the colonial era, pre-colonial local alcoholic beverages in colonized countries have been to varying degrees supplanted by Western wine. This is also something we should be trying to reverse. While we are not especially pro-alcohol in general, if people must drink, from a purely anti-colonialist perspective we should encourage them to drink the pre-colonial stuff.

This also applies to the New World, where we should be promoting the various local varieties of:

while attacking anyone who drinks Western wine.

It goes without saying that we should also ridicule the Homo Hubris wine glasses at every opportunity:
