    I mean, settler colonialism isn’t just “White people moving places”

    If it was an actual parallel to Mexican immigration to the US, people moving mostly for better economic opportunity and becoming part of their new communities, buying homes the way everyone else does, that’s fine and normal, gentrification at worst.

    There’s nothing wrong with a white person moving to Chiapas, getting a job, and buying a home, as long as they don’t displace or murder anyone to do it.

    Maybe… actually it would be good!

    It’s the forced displacement/mass murder/land stealing that’s the problem

    BUT as far as I’m concerned, Amerikkka shaytan al akbar, especially as the biggest settler-colonial entity

    My prediction is, they’re gonna cry wolf about Mexico, and then the U.S will have to intervene and “accidentally” occupy the place (it’s not unlikely, especially since they’re neighbors). We saw that not only in Amerikkka in 1848 but in Israel, regarding the West Bank, and they allowed Israel to do it again with Syria, when they overthrow its leader, Bashar
