I've heard one communist commentator say we should especially watch out for how American fascists will start talking about fighting the "settler colonialism" of climate refugees.
It's a never ending arms race between the people using language to clarify things and build class consciousness, and the reactionaries deliberately misusing language and misapplying terms to rob that language of its purpose.
Just like fascists of old parroted leftist language, modern day fascists will and are doing the same.

That is deeply cursed
I know. It seems so possible considering how the far right have so thoroughly demonized refugees in the span of a decade.
Zionists already have aggressively tried to paint Arabs as colonizers (within Palestinian land) for forever. This isn't new.
