You see the same sort of resistance re: societies that recently emerged from more than a generation of government oppression. People have said with a straight face "why hasn't Haiti improved its lot? Its been more than 10 years since the US military forced them to finally pay off the debt[0] they owed France!" I think if you're not already thinking about generational trauma, I'm really not sure how to convince you its a thing. 0. a debt for "stealing" slaves - that is freeing themselves - from the french. The debt demanded was, adjusted for inflation, more than the war debt demanded of Germany following WWI.
