The other day, I was arguing with someone israel and Palestine, and they brought up the whole "everybody has done settler colonialism before" trope. While it's an idiotic argument even if true (directly contradicting their whole "rules based international order" sthick), it did get me wondering.
I've assumed up until now that settler colonialism is a phenomena unique to the capitalist phase of history, but how true is that exactly?
This is a super lazy answer, but the Wikipedia page on this lists nearly only European colonisation on non European peoples. The few counter examples seem to be Morocco, Indonesia, and Japan.
