Settler colonialism is a real thing that happened in history with devastating consequences for indigenous peoples around the globe.
Still very much happening but it's only really being called out in Western societies. Meanwhile indigenous Tibetans are having their culture erased by Han Chinese, etc...
I got the "pshaw what about tibet" response when I mentioned the ansarallah movement's statement of solidarity with all settler-colonized people on the planet
they got mad when i asked them what they thought "settler-colonialism" meant
they ended the conversation in anger when I brought up the slavery and torture that the Chinese stopped in Tibet
I was trying to read an article on decolonization from some Ivy league school and on like the second page there was a footnote about how not just the west does colonization but cHiNa tOo! I couldn't kee reading it after that lol
White supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberal thought: not directly observable, but made apparent by how all of their other ideas orbit around it.
There's a direct line between the liberal supporting the acquisition of new colonies in 1870 and those people.
After all, the UK, France, Italy, Germany - all had elections back then, which were usually decided between a liberal and conservative party (and both did colonialism)
