Might be motivated reasoning connected to the notion that European colonialism was unique in human history.

  I don't think this is a serious position held by anyone with even a cursory understanding of history. Loud people on social media maybe.

    tbf, I think the position that hunter gatherer society was relatively idyllic and non-violent until the nasty proto-states came along and forced people into agriculture being argued against here is (whilst largely unrelated to colonial exceptionalism) also a niche one with significantly more currency amongst loud people on social media than in academia
