It's always the dumb ones who bitch about it, and always are people who refuse to take responsibility. For example if you talk to Africans about colonialism, the general consensus is "yeah the Europeans really fucked us up, but we are free now, the bigger problem is all the corruption in our country". This isn't 1962 anymore, the dutch don't control land. Sure they might have an extreme amount of influence over the leadership, but if the country wasn't so corrupt it wouldn't be that way. Pakistan, India and Bangladesh are the only nations that keep bitching about colonialism like the British are still controlling India. No saarrs you country is literally a shit hole because you refuse to tamp down on the corruption. And don't give me the "we have a bajillion people" crap, if the Chinese can do it, so can you.
Take sub-Saharan Africans for example. Until the White Man started colonizing Africa there were no buildings with more than one level or more than one room to be found in most of Africa. They could only be found in Northern Africa, such as Egypt and other countries along the Mediterranean coast. It was all mud or grass huts with thatched roofs. The White Man came, and brought with him education, medicine, technology, culture, and Christianity. The White Man built cities with real buildings, electricity, plumbing, doors and windows. The White Man built ports and railroads linking even remote settlements.
In the mid-20th Century it was decided colonialism and empires should end, that the former colonies should be granted self-determination and governance. All those wondrous things the White Man built began to decay and crumble. There is no word for "maintenance" in any African native tongue. They had no concept of upkeep, and the White Man never really taught them about it. Sure, they would use African workers to build and maintain things, but they never passed on the lesson of making sure things remain in good shape. During colonialism the White Man took care of everything, so if anything broke the White Man would make sure it was fixed.
So now there are endless miles of railroad trackage that is unusable. It's rusted and warped, bent rails laying in sinkholes, whole sections of track where the rails and ties have been pried up to be used to build some scrap shack. Prime movers and rolling stock sit in abandoned rail yards rusting away, the motors seized, scrappers picking at their massive corpses for who-knows-what.
I once saw a pair of photos of this pool in South Africa that was built in, I believe, the 1960s during Apartheid. It was originally a Whites Only pool, of course. Absolutely beautiful pool with two or three concrete diving boards at one end, and I believe murals surrounding the courtyard the pool was in. Then you looked at the second photo. It was the same pool, but after the fall of Apartheid. Now trash littered the courtyard and filled the pool, where there was only a shallow puddle of filthy water. The concrete was chipped and broken, covered in graffiti. Yet more graffiti covered the walls, the murals unrecognizable or torn down. I haven't been able to find those photos since that one time I saw them, and I've looked several times for them. But I'll never forget them, not completely. I may miss some of the details, but the impression they left on me will never leave me.
The poop crickets have been more successful at maintaining and taking advantage of the infrastructure gifts the White Man left them than the Africans, but that may be because Indians are a bit more evolved than Africans. As backwards and savage as it was, they did have a culture. They had buildings and craftsmanship. They traded with other cultures and races as they were located along the Silk Road. They've even been able to expand upon what the White Man built, such as the railroads, cities, and electrical systems. Their attempts at expanding their infrastructure have been incompetent, haphazard, and even dangerous, but they've at least made an attempt at being part of the modern world. If they weren't so repulsive and barbaric, it would almost be an admirable effort.
