The United States has been worse for indigenous people. I don’t want to alienate indigenous people by saying Mexico ruling over them would be better, but I don’t see an easy answer for how we can get solidarity between the indigenous communities and Mexican government. Like if we could get that it would be amazing but I legitimately have no idea how we could heal the wounds between them. We probably can’t. But like, a stronger Mexico to fend off the US seems like a necessity.
Just because Mexico is a colonial state doesn’t disqualify the grievances they have against the US. The struggle indigenous people have against Mexico and the United States is an entirely separate issue and the issue here is that there is a very legitimate land claim that Mexico has against the US that the left has not explored well enough. We can’t abandon it as an option, like even if the nationalistic element is not really there, such an action would do good at destroying the US empire which is kind of the end goal of what we all believe here.
There’s also the inverse where a celebrity’s endorsement for Palestine could do harm to it, like Kanye. Nobody wants that reactionary asshole’s support.
xqc is not a barely verbal pathetic weirdo, he’s a barely verbal pathetic weirdo who steals peoples content that looks like a fucking goblin with a gambling addiction financed by his child fanbase which he advertises gambling too.
We saw a bunch of ukranian refugees show up to the eu a year ago and they received social assistance far greater than any the Syrian refugee received. Why is that?
The only flaw with your argument is that the Jews would have nothing if they left Israel. They would be welcomed with open arms into countries that actually want them (even though they shouldn’t be allowed to simply leave, they should be punished and face the wraith of the indigenous people they tried genocide but that’s a moralistic argument and unlikely to happen). They would keep most of their wealth and have no problem reintegrating into the imperial core, we saw this with the South Africans, South Vietnamese, the Cuban losers, hell it probably goes back farther than the confederates who fled to Brazil to continue slavery. The colonizers will always have safe harbor in the imperial core and its other peripheral territories. They aren’t going to be left in poverty if the colonial project fails.
Is colonialism a symptom of whiteness or is whiteness a symptom of colonialism? I don’t know which one came first but one of them of them is the symptom and the other is the cause. We need to find and treat the cause.
