Very glad to hear another edition of this fantastic series!
Regarding the argument: “You Europeans colonized us in Africa and Asia, so how can you object when we colonize you?”
A formal response would be something like this: “The point to the decolonialization policies of the post-World War II era was to end colonialism by all parties. This was codified in the Atlantic Charter and similar doctrines, to include international law, upon which your argument is based. But now you third worlders are violating this consensus. Therefore, we must conclude that the mass migrations into Europe (and America, Australia, etc.) are to be considered as acts of war. Consequently, we have the right to treat you as invaders, taking appropriate actions to stop the invasion and then remigrate you back to from wherever you came.”
Corollary: “If you third worlders are going to try to justify your current colonialization of Europe, then you have no right to object to the European colonialization of Africa and Asia which occurred in a prior era. Therefore, we Europeans shall praise that colonialization as a glorious chapter in the history of Mankind while colonizing you back to your own homelands.”
The objective here is to spin the argument against the migrationistas and throw them onto the psychological defensive. Seizing the initiative gains the high ground in psychological warfare aka info ops. And the New Cold War is a guerrilla information war, as the Man says.
