The absurd statement is not decolonization but the implied causal graph, which is not a DAG, incidentally, as it is cyclical.

It's explicitly a DAG [0]. And, there's nothing absurd in the graph that I can see.

Curious, what makes you think it's cyclical? As far I understand, it's only a cyclical graph if the loops are closed, which they are very clearly not here.
