Are you a colonizer too? Unless you’re 100% First Nations (you aren’t) then you are by your own logic a colonizer and doing harm.

That’s crazy! How is a colony defined, is it one queen is managing the whole 6000km territory?

I think you are overshooting how much average American citizens think about or even give a shit about Gaza.

Someone has to clean up that excrement and I guarantee you they aren’t being paid enough to do it.

Truly shitty ^

Fucking Russia gov’t

That sound awful to go through, I’m sorry you experienced that. I feel like I wouldn’t be able to get back on a bike after having major incident like that. Kudos to you for getting back into it. I live in a bike phobic city where people will openly harass you throwing stuff at you like drinks and shout at you if you are riding a bike in the designated bike lane. And there’s been I think 3 - 5 deaths in the last month alone here since it’s too expensive to own a car so there’s more cyclists now. North America needs to work on its car centric problem

Who would’ve thought? Just like everywhere else, I guess … (Humans are terrible)

Yeah sorry if I got a bit heated in my response. Maybe I misunderstood your point.

Okay, I can really understand what you are trying to say. I feel like there needs to be a different or new word for this kind of experience maybe? Because choosing to abstain from a food group or what have you doesn’t make your minority in the sense most of us think of, even if it’s technically correct. And we don’t want to minimize what true minorities go through when our food choices in this case our truly our own choice. But it is definitely a different experience when someone finds out you choose not to eat the type of food they do. They take it so personally you are not eating meat. I actually had the same issues when I was doing Atkins ages ago, which is mostly protein based. People questioning my food choices because it wasn’t what they they eat and they took it as a personal judgement against them.
