Good intentions? He’s a genocide supporter - hardly a paragon of virtue

where are they implying trump wouldnt do the same? Imagine someone claimed hitler was evil and Roosevelt well intentioned. Someone pointing out that roosevelt was responsible for the unnecessary detonation of two atomic bombs over civilian population centers is not coming to hitlers defense. Roosevelt was a racist scumbag and so is Biden. None of this is a defense of trump.

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

But thats what being a zionist is, you cant be a zionist without supporting the IDF which has been engaged in the constant subjugation and extermination whenever politically possible for decades now.

Their username is redditwanderer which is why I referenced reddit and in debatebro terms arguing against the statement about joe biden not being “well intentioned” because he supports genocide by bringing up how trump is worse is whataboutism.

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.

a fuse was blown when the airbags deployed, so the Cybertruck can’t be driven.

I can think of another reason

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.

sorry but bernie is a zionist too

I thought whataboutism was like a cardinal sin to redditors

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

the eu is dying too, you are in good conpany. Italy is busy resurrecting mussolini atm.

Actual demon

As the US strips its thralls of the wealth it had lent out, in order to keep its dying empire afloat, these thralls fight amongst themselves for the scraps which remain. The EU is done for when the hegemon decides it is no longer useful for it except maybe as stewards on its military bases. And later as fodder for the cannons coming to enact revenge. Whats happening in ukraine will come for us sooner or later, as the US fights this battle to the last ukrainian so will it fight to the last european. I personally hope Im somewhere safe when it does.

Dudes cooked. Democrats cant stop fumbling the bag
