He called me a setter and a nazi out of the blue, and I asked him if he slanders everyone or if he has a reason for saying that about me, then he replies with this legendary quote:
If you’re Amerikan, then you live in the bowels of the single most brutal settler-colonial entity to exist in the modern era. “Settling” is not a once-and-done action; it is a constant state as long as you are on settled land.
Ethnic cleansing and ethnonationalism is okay as long as it’s anti-West, clearly.
There’s a lot of validity to pointing out that colonization is an ongoing process. Just ask any native tribe that’s lost their fight over sacred lands so some jackass oligarch can pump oil the short way.
I’m not sure “ethnically cleanse all people with European blood” is the answer.

I agree, it’s just, you know, “White person living” isn’t “continuing colonization”. Shit like the Dakota Access Pipeline is continuing colonization. Seems to be the issue with a lot of tankie takes. They find an actual issue that needs to be fought, and proceed to get nearly every detail of it wrong.
Sooo they should go settle somewhere else? Where do they expect them to go? Or maybe they just want US to kill themselves. Hmm, maybe Hexbear isn’t that well-reasoned at its heart…
It’s fucking easy to virtue signal “colonialism bad”. It’s much harder to propose a solution that doesn’t involve even more mass death of innocents. If someone doesn’t have primum non nocere at the heart of their politics, they are not healing anything. They are just doing blood for blood.
Well Italy, Japan and Germany all did some bad stuff in WWII so why don’t we swap places.
I swear I’ve seen that same account screeching that it is good if Donald wins because any amount of collateral damage is acceptable as long as some number of “crackers” are put up against a wall.
Just a repugnant little internet troll. An excellent example of why defederating from hexbear is the right course of action.
If you search their comments for “cracker” the rage is a decent portion of their content.
What I remember was basically like https://lemmy.ml/post/20607225/13895181 but specifically tailored to whether or not Donald is a threat we should all vote against.
Pretty delusional. Repub pogroms wouldn’t be targeting the classic liberals this person despises. IDK who they expect will be doing reconstruction afterwards. Of course they’re participating on instances where fragile mods protect ahistorical clownery.
Lmao, these pricks are actually hurting their own base by alienating themselves so hard.
Sucks to suck 🤷
Colonialism was terrible, but technically all land is settled. Humans always moved and settled somewhere else, even before we could be classified as homo sapiens, and that was often brutal too when we encountered others. There’s ultimately no space where we truly came from or belong to.
You realize how big Africa is? And it isn’t like we just plopped in existence there.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. Land Back is about colonization. I’m very specifically going back to human origins and how we, as homo sapiens, spread across the globe. This includes what we consider “natives” in America, Australia, Europe, and other parts of the globe where we did not originate from. All those places were settled by us and were not inhabited by humans originally.
