That would be how I’d envision it as well. Starting from a “first principle” is always good. It’s a bit long/dense, but god, I just started re-reading and it remains so good.

As soon as the native begins to pull on his moorings, and to cause anxiety to the settler, he is handed over to well-meaning souls who in cultural congresses point out to him the specificity and wealth of Western values. But every time Western values are mentioned they produce in the native a sort of stiffening or muscular lockjaw. During the period of decolonization, the natives’s reason is appealed to. He is offered definite values, he is told frequently that decolonization need not mean regression, and that he must put his trust in qualities which are welltried, solid, and highly esteemed. But it so happens that when the native hears a speech about Western culture he pulls out his knife–or at least he makes sure it is within reach. The violence with which the supremacy of white values is affirmed and the aggressiveness which has permeated the victory of these values over the ways of life and of thought of the native mean that, in revenge, the native laughs in mockery when Western values are mentioned in front of him.

I actually might have the power to make you a mod, I’m going to try now.

It seems it worked. Enjoy your mod powers here, and just be sure to moderate the anti-sectarian rules since I think that’s the real key.

Pinned this for now.
