Not to split hairs but I don’t think there’s any “amerikkka” in settlers. Sakai uses “Amerika” and yea I believe he borrowed it from other groups. My memory is a little fuzzy on the specifics, another comrade may know better, but I think it came from some black or afro nationalist orgs or other things like that. It definitely predates settlers

yeah and i believe the point is/was to highlight and draw a link to fascism with it. I remember reading a thing a couple years ago about some of the groups that began using it that influenced sakai's usage of it but tbh post-covid it's hard for me to remember random shit like that anymore lol
