      justified means for a war of decolonization:

      • self-defense against oppressors
      • attacks against former and current oppressors
      • attacks against collaborators

      unjustified means for a war of decolonization:

      • literal genocide

        It turns out mass murder solely on the basis of race, is a bad idea shrug-outta-hecks

        Colonization is done by institutions and systems, not people

          also to clarify, i understand that the Tamil genocide had origins in ideas of liberation from their oppressors. (similar situation with the Hutus before the Tutsi genocide too)

            I'm agreeing with you, you are attacking a person's position as an oppressor within the system which maybe up for some discussion (idk) but it's not a genocide.

      it looks like the Tamil nation invaded the island of Sri Lanka in the 1200s and established a colony after ransacking, pillaging, and eradicating the existing culture.

      God willing I pray that the native Slavs and Germans also "decolonize" the Carpathian basin from the Hungarian hordes who invaded 1000 years ago!

      Lol, lmao

      You need to read more Lenin at the very least. I'm begging you.
