Libs totally aren’t fascists btw
In invocations of settler colonialism, Berkowitz hears progressives giving up on effecting change through political means. “The left has replaced its faith in proletarian subjects and utopian solutions with a view of the Indigenous as innocent and oppressed. It’s an ethics rather than a politics.”
What the fuck does this even mean?
yea ima be honest leftists need to stop talking like that yesterday
tbh it sounds more like a liberal thing, or at least someone who hasn’t given up on the USgov
it has the same vibes as “institutional racism” where you constantly repeat the passive-voiced option so it sounds less bad and alarming (don’t @ me, instutions are just full of racist crackers and their lapdogs, 99% of the time “institutional” racism is literally just normal-ass racism)
They’re doing what what’s called class reductionism but doing it for real instead of the imagined thing liberals think we do
It reads more like: “Faith in proletarian subjects and utopian solutions” devoid of ethical considerations…
Using the science of ethics to inform your political position about the real world…
Typical liberal rag, esoteric navel-gazing only/no realpolitik allowed… There’s nothing quite as pathetic as watching a liberal wonder about the world.
This is something every pan-racial (for lack of a better term) movement will run into. Every movement needs its foundational myths (in the folkloric sense, not the “stories that are false” sense) and common beliefs to function. When you’re trying to unite disparate peoples whose main reason for joining together is to increase political/bargaining power, you’re going to have to either choose to prioritize certain narratives over others or create new narratives whole cloth.
The crackers have to label this as a “pan-racial” thing because they don’t want to admit that “whiteness” is a construct and they have no culture.
As Chris Hannah once sung, “Just what exactly are the great historical accomplishments of your race that make you proud to be white? Capitalism? Slavery? Genocide? Sit-coms? This is your fucking white-history, my friend. So why don’t we start making a history worth being proud of and start fighting the real fucking enemy?”.
spitting bars! gotta look for the source, i imagine there are other gems in it
uh i don’t get it, someone help me out? are you taking about agar-agar solution?
In the Museum of Whitness, here we see a box of Captain Crunch Cereal with Crunch Berries…
Someone using “settler colonialism”, “turtle island”, etc etc is akin to hearing a Republican bring up Hunter Biden in that I know I can simpy (sic) discount everything they say about everything.
This is what a settler-colonial fascist scumbag sounds like. This is a whole cracker. Death to America, death to Canada, death to the cracker settler menace.
Seeing these cracker fucks talk like this while continuing to displace fellow ndns (thacker pass for a more recent and egregious example) brings about a certain type of hatred in my heart.
: Indigeneity is itself a Complex™ topic that needs to be defined first before going anywhere.
Edit: from that article:
A left-wing kibbutznik who lives a few miles from Gaza and drives sick Palestinians to Israeli hospitals is no less a colonialist than a right-wing theocratic settler
Ah fuck I didn’t even think about the left wing kibbutznik
The article is a comedy goldmine

Decolonization isn’t political, apparently
Settler colonialism is a real thing that happened in history with devastating consequences for indigenous peoples around the globe.
Still very much happening but it’s only really being called out in Western societies. Meanwhile indigenous Tibetans are having their culture erased by Han Chinese, etc…

“white people are the superior master aryan race because they’re so much more enlightened and progressive than the savage inferior untermenschen”
There’s a direct line between the liberal supporting the acquisition of new colonies in 1870 and those people.
After all, the UK, France, Italy, Germany - all had elections back then, which were usually decided between a liberal and conservative party (and both did colonialism)
White supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberal thought: not directly observable, but made apparent by how all of their other ideas orbit around it.
Libs are so shocked by how china can develop its own chips or russia can beat nato in ukraine. They genuinely believe the west to be masters of the universe and nothing can be done without them willing it so. Their hubris will hit them hard as their precious rules based order declines.
I got the “pshaw what about tibet” response when I mentioned the ansarallah movement’s statement of solidarity with all settler-colonized people on the planet
they got mad when i asked them what they thought “settler-colonialism” meant
they ended the conversation in anger when I brought up the slavery and torture that the Chinese stopped in Tibet
I was trying to read an article on decolonization from some Ivy league school and on like the second page there was a footnote about how not just the west does colonization but cHiNa tOo! I couldn’t kee reading it after that lol
thats the kinda person who will look you dead in the eye and say “Colonialism can be good, look how bad the Aztecs were”
