Hell of a spin

giving the rest a pass because they are no longer visible in your day-to-day life you are effectively saying success justifies it.

Huh? How does that follow? If there is no longer injustice from an oppressor-oppressed dynamic then what is there to do? And how does the fact that it's no longer possible to make right justify the crime?

Edit: I don't even know what point you are trying to argue, my original statement was that states which are engaging in settler colonialism should be dismantled and dont have a right to exist. There can be other reasons to dismantle states forcibly (capitalism being the predominant one), this is but one of them. A rather egregious one.

So what you're saying is, if one side fully wipes out and/or swallows up the other fully, colonialism is then ok.

no im not wtf

Words like "colonialism" or "settler colonialism" serve the purpose of naming injustices committed by empires.

They arent just bound to a space but also to a time. So the ongoing oppression against native palestinians, native americans etc is settler colonialism since it is about a people taking land from them without compensation. The roman empire also did settler colonialism. The difference is that the settler romans and indigenous population at this point are indistinguishable from each other. Through intermarriages and cultural exchanges there is not a roman-german and a germanic-german culture. And where there are cultural differences stemming from the days of roman settlerism these now coexist. There is no oppressor-oppressed dynamic anymore that characterizes settler colonialism.

For all its faults and crimes, and Lord knows there are many, the country I'm in isn't oppressing a people native to this region.

migration =/= colonialism

migration =/= colonialism

To expand on this, the oppression of the indigenous peoples of these nations is ongoing. Its not in the past its still happening. Thats the line.

It isnt. No settler state has a right to exist, the settlers already there should integrate into the indigenous culture or leave. This includes the US, Canada, Australia and so on.

our history with israel is the third reich and israel having friendly relations. We are continuing nazi tradition by supporting israel.

Do you see why fetishizing black people for their skin coloris racist? Its similar to that.

Hence the overbar. Lemmy should support LaTeX for real though

My point is that it seems like youre disregarding how this affects the kids by saying "well the parents shouldve known better" or you think the kids deserved since they shiuldve known better and I thought I ask what your point was before making any conclusions

Whats your point?

It was the parents who did it not the kids

The heoic fight against weather measuring instruments

What am i ignorant of?

The point is to have a system where you can mistreat migrant laborers illegally because if they speak up they lose their job and get deported. At the same time you can pretend to actually care about workers with your legislation and create a white labor aristocracy.

What a rude edit, there really is no point extending good faith in this community it gets thrown right back in your face.
