You know what makes this even more ridiculous to me, as a pasty ass motherfucker?
All the land we stole and murdered for sucks. If you’re white, why the fuck would you want to live in Israel, why the fuck would you want to live in Africa, why the fuck would you want to live in North America below like the 40th parallel?
The sun itself tells us we don’t belong every time we go outside. I grew up in Florida and Texas and the sun is a toxic danger. You did genocide to take Florida??? The place you can’t go outside half the year or you’ll get heatstroke in like 10 minutes?
You could’ve stayed in England, France, and Spain! Three of the biggest colonizer countries have literally the best climate on earth. Why the fuck would you leave??
I visited England for two weeks once and it was like my body knew that was where it had evolved to live. My nose was clearer than it had ever been, the sun felt pleasant and warm, and the hottest peaks of the hottest days were still totally manageable.
The land was settled in order to extract resources back to the home country. Only the schmucks and undesirables actually went out to live in the colonies. To the extent that bourgeois settled too, it was for upward mobility, and they deemed themselves entitled to wealth for bracing the so-called savage lands.
After centuries of settlement, and after the formal end of colonialism, the descendants of the original white settlers have lost connection with their own history. They must make up a new one which imagines that capitalism is natural, that the settled land was pristine before they arrived, and that the country was founded on principles of liberty rather than exploitation and genocide.
