This is probably gonna be a hot take, but I believe that everyone has the right the nation, even the descendants of colonizers. I mean like yeah if you’re first generation and literally having to kill indigenous people to secure a nation there for yourself, then you have zero fucking right to do that because you’re negatively impacting someone else’s right to self determination. Like having a nation in and of itself isn’t a bad thing, it’s just when it extends beyond patriotism and starts moving into chauvinist and oppressive territory that it becomes a problem. Like as soon you start taking away someone else’s right to live in their own nation peacefully, then you’re crossing the line from good thing to bad thing. At least that’s my understanding, feel free to publicly execute me if I did a bad, I’m a settler and my understanding of racial/national issues comes solely from a materialist world view lol
