Aggressors may conduct systematic ideological indoctrination of their own population, cultivating a cult of exceptionalism and messianism. Within this paradigm, the colonizer's culture is proclaimed superior and a bearer of progress, while the culture of the colonized peoples is deliberately marginalized and portrayed as backward, derivative, or altogether lacking the right to independent existence. This serves as the basic ideological justification for subsequent domination.
