"Not stolen but conquered!!!1!"

I'm baffled that anyone can hear themselves say that and not realize they're the bad guys. This isn't a video game. Conquest is worse.

i think an important aspect as well is that there's no essentialism as to whether or not someone is a settler. that is to say, we can conceive of a future where settler-colonialism (and race tbh) is dismantled and euro-americans would no longer be settlers, meaning that it is by nature a historical product. rather, the classes of people divided by settler-colonialism are essentially the same as they were hundreds of years ago, and the exploitative relations between them are also much the same. so much of liberal society wants to pretend that, because slavery was abolished and we had the civil rights movement, that these represent progress inherent to liberalism when in reality nothing has fundamentally changed, the contradiction in classes has just developed over time.

Or the classic, "doing that would be a reverse genocide tho!!"

Doing a genocide and stealing land: 👍

Undoing all that: 😭

Insulting colonizers is based and should happen often.
