Shitty logic, this tribe have electricity and want to restore the health of their river. Removing this dam is progress. They aren't being held back, they're moving forward. Complaining about this is idiotic. Do you people like dead rivers? Dead rivers are supposed to be something people accept and move on from, instead of problems to be fixed? What the hell.
My response was about the logic of "help catch up and adapt" is a colonialist dogwhistle, not about the specifics of what was being argued.
