The thing about doing something for the rights of people actually being oppressed is that thoughts and prayers, and little colored flag overlays for your Twitter profile picture, are so much easier to do and quicker to give a rush of "I did a good thing, yay me" endorphins.
Actual change, on the other hand, requires sustained and genuine effort. It will almost certainly require you to pressure your government into putting pressure on the oppressing government--which will almost certainly get the anti-colonialists fired up and screaming--and to support the sort of domestic policies that can give your government the diplomatic weight to make that pressure actually mean something. It will require you to weather the backlash that the oppressing government will kick up, and that any of its supporters in other countries (but especially in your country) might try to enact.
Above all, it might require you to admit that some cultures and societies are markedly better than others, and that tearing down those better ones in a piss-ignorant attempt at "equality" is a bad thing.
