Could there be one in the future how x country has now stopped oppressing them?

Do you mean could there be a better infographic posted? With more info about decolonization?

I have some resources there, people are competing to make the flashiest infographics about it now which is nice. Extremely fringe benefit of YouTube and TikTok.

Or did you mean poorer countries celebrating a new kind of independence day once they stop relying on Washington or get rid of military bases from Euros?

Because I hope the Sahel states will celebrate their alliance with by establishing a new holiday if they haven't already. For getting rid of the damn French.

There are various ways of oppression occurring everywhere and all around the world. Like embargos, e-waste, textile waste etc. so yes to what you mentioned. But this is an amazing share. A bit blurry to read.

Oh hell yeah, I'll get you some infographics on imperialism. I've got maps of world trade and whatnot. When I clock off I'll upload them.
