Meanwhile Biden is legitimizing right wing boogeymen about trans kids: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/health/transgender-surgery-biden.html
I dont know why you would be, are you in the US? Its very likely that they were behind it and are trying to cover it up
Yeah but he wasn’t. It was Fetullah Gülen who is now in hiding in the USA.

Hell of a spin
go vegan!
giving the rest a pass because they are no longer visible in your day-to-day life you are effectively saying success justifies it.
Huh? How does that follow? If there is no longer injustice from an oppressor-oppressed dynamic then what is there to do? And how does the fact that it’s no longer possible to make right justify the crime?
Edit: I don’t even know what point you are trying to argue, my original statement was that states which are engaging in settler colonialism should be dismantled and dont have a right to exist. There can be other reasons to dismantle states forcibly (capitalism being the predominant one), this is but one of them. A rather egregious one.
Refedded after the possibility of defedding select comms was introduced to lemmy as per https://hexbear.net/post/2722051
So what you’re saying is, if one side fully wipes out and/or swallows up the other fully, colonialism is then ok.
no im not wtf
Good intentions? He’s a genocide supporter - hardly a paragon of virtue
where are they implying trump wouldnt do the same? Imagine someone claimed hitler was evil and Roosevelt well intentioned. Someone pointing out that roosevelt was responsible for the unnecessary detonation of two atomic bombs over civilian population centers is not coming to hitlers defense. Roosevelt was a racist scumbag and so is Biden. None of this is a defense of trump.
Words like “colonialism” or “settler colonialism” serve the purpose of naming injustices committed by empires.
They arent just bound to a space but also to a time. So the ongoing oppression against native palestinians, native americans etc is settler colonialism since it is about a people taking land from them without compensation. The roman empire also did settler colonialism. The difference is that the settler romans and indigenous population at this point are indistinguishable from each other. Through intermarriages and cultural exchanges there is not a roman-german and a germanic-german culture. And where there are cultural differences stemming from the days of roman settlerism these now coexist. There is no oppressor-oppressed dynamic anymore that characterizes settler colonialism.
For all its faults and crimes, and Lord knows there are many, the country I’m in isn’t oppressing a people native to this region.
migration =/= colonialism
But thats what being a zionist is, you cant be a zionist without supporting the IDF which has been engaged in the constant subjugation and extermination whenever politically possible for decades now.
Their username is redditwanderer which is why I referenced reddit and in debatebro terms arguing against the statement about joe biden not being “well intentioned” because he supports genocide by bringing up how trump is worse is whataboutism.
migration =/= colonialism
To expand on this, the oppression of the indigenous peoples of these nations is ongoing. Its not in the past its still happening. Thats the line.
a fuse was blown when the airbags deployed, so the Cybertruck can’t be driven.
I can think of another reason
It isnt. No settler state has a right to exist, the settlers already there should integrate into the indigenous culture or leave. This includes the US, Canada, Australia and so on.
I should stop posting from my lemm.ee account as well…
