Yeah I think that the white monarchist government of my country is illegitimate and that ownership of the land should be returned to the indigenous people. If the white people don't like it they can go back to England

Also since the government is illegitimate, cops are actually occupying soldiers and killing them is ethically A-okay.

Cool, cool. How do you feel about Indians and Chinese (as in the subcontinent) in Britian?

How about Syrians in Sweden?

Do you honestly believe it is logical to equate colonialism to immigration?

[–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes actually. Why wouldnt they be the same thing?

You must not be very familiar with the impacts of colonialism then. Take your time and read these:

Equating the two is laughable. You are equating

  • conquest

  • the intentional destruction of a people's civilization/government

  • slavery

to

  • the people trying to escape said destruction/lingering impacts

  • the people moving to our nations for the hope of working for a better life, who have lower crime rates than the existing population, and are a net boon to the economy

It is beyond ridiculous, and a miscarriage of history.
