I’ve read this opinion on here and other leftist places several times, and it’s gotten to the point where I’m absolutely confounded about whether people even understand geopolitics and know history. Truly weird take that would suggest hidden prejudices and having complete blinders on what is happening in the world.

someone here once said that the Sámi were not Indigenous because they "looked white"

jeez i wonder why they "look white"

...Because the native-settler dynamic is the result of a material, economic base, irrespective of skin color?

Also, one person said that supporting Indigenous rights was the same as supporting primitivism.

Famously, Tumblr also described Finland as a colonialist country, so maybe we shouldn't get all up in arms about the historical analysis done by the most propagandized people in the history of the world.

Sorry, I don't see what's wrong with calling Finland a colonialist country...? Suvi Keskinen of the University of Helsinki has spilled a lot of ink on this topic, I think. Am I just misunderstanding what's meant by this?
