Like I know that, realistically speaking, they're not the worst results of imperialism and colonialism, but suits are just so boring, and their universality is representative of the results of imperialism in a clear and easy to see way. Like why did the evils of imperialism have to be accompanied by boring suits.
It's both tbh, because they go hand in hand. That's the entire reason for capitalist accumulation, after all; the contradiction between money's quality of unlimited power, and its quantitative limitations.
