Maybe one or two more genocides/famines and then they might relise.
The sickening irony of "theOSINTguy" talking about "one or two more genocides" when America has been complicit, has aided, and is abetting two genocides rn, with one JUST in the rear-view after Obama left office. You settlers are not slick.
I think you forgetting rule number 1 of genocides. Its not a genocide if you win the war. Winners write history. Not saying its right that's just how it is.
Meanwhile, in Israel...
According to them that's not real communism as its never been tried properly. They are missing the fundamental problem that it can never be tried properly cos it can never be implemented successfully. But they don't let that stop them.
You sound like a convict settler
What does that even mean? Are u calling me a coloniser? A convict? Both? Please explain ur idiotic logic.
Considering you spelled "colonizer" with an 's', you are really not doing yourself any favors
Its called "English (traditional)" as opposed to the yanks who use "English (simplified)". Remind me again what you Americans did to your native population? Three words pot kettle black.
and wow promoting that unhinged naming scheme for US/UK English, really another incredible echelon of coloniser-brain
Neither I or my ancestors are colonisers my hands are as clean as yours.
"what [..] Americans did to [their] native population" you mean continuing the genocide that the British colonists enthusiastically started?
Imagine asking a Black guy what crackers did to the natives. Exactly what they ~~did~~ are still doing to us, peckerwood.
Imagine assuming I'm part of the British minority who did the colonising and not the majority who got colonised and also learned proper English. I mean I'm neither so ur point is even more idiotic.
Nah I assumed you were an aussie from "munted" and the s you keep putting in colonizer; hence "convict settler". Not like either one deserves enough respect to be demarcated distinct from one another, but that's a whole different kettle of catfish.
20-25% of current Aussies have convict ancestors and 40-45% have coloniser ancestors. I'm not even going to engage in ur stupidity of blaming the people of the present for shit that happened over 100years ago.
Imagine splitting the difference when convicts were still used for settler-colonialism, yawn. Are you still going, peck?
No. I'm separating the fact that the entire events of colonisation happened over a hundred years ago. That's a lot of goddamn time.
The fact that you think it is speaks to how comfortable your life is lmfao. For my people, a hundred years changed fucking nothing. Schools, jobs, living districts, third spaces, the fact that we still get lynched by cops and fed into prison slavery if we're lucky enough to survive a cop run-in; all still segregated in ways that are just nebulous enough to get a veneer of plausible deniability from the settlers thanks to the efforts of assimilationist tokens. Y'know, the artifice that lets you say "a hundred years is a long time and everything is different now". I couldn't be paid to believe your situation is any different-- just where you sit on the pecking order.
But this is all a waste of time. Even if you read what I'm saying-- which I doubt-- you'd never internalize it. You're physically incapable of seeing how your sausage is made; otherwise, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
I am reading what ur writing I think it's critically important to for everyone myself included to talk to people one disagrees with.
Well ur talking about america in this situation and well yeah I agree America is completely fucked its the worlds greatest third world country. I never said its different now I'm simply washing my hands of any responsibility for something that happened 100 years ago.
If I was in charge of america here's what I would do to fix the country, let me know what u think
Its long needs improvement and totally off the top of my head so I'd love to get some feedback.
