In short, it's a fucking shit take. If it weren't for Max Haavelar exposing just how BAD things are for native Indonesians under VOC rule, there wouldn't even be 'modernisation'. We would forever be a corporate-owned state.

Western colonialism also use the exploitation done by the local rulers especially if it helps their cause / businesses.
