  1. What opinions, specifically? Can you articulate what I actually believe here or are you just attacking the strawman your all right wing media diet has made for you? I'm a middle-aged man with a job, a mortgage and a kid. Has the possibility that not everyone of your socioeconomic strata shares your opinions and values, or that you may not actually represent "sensible people" ever once crossed your mind? Of course not; you're a zealot. Fallacy: affirming the consequent. Whether they came with the intention to kill or erase culture is beside the point (though I'd argue that killing and erasing culture was actually the explicit goal of the settler colonial project). People are judged by their deeds, not their intentions. They took a lot more than that. Those are definitely a bunch of words. They have zilch to do with the subject at hand, but there are lot of them. "Zeal"? "Lack of self awareness"? My dude you are barking at the moon here. i'll refer you once again to my first point above wrt strawmen.
  2. lol not an argument! you're just throwing random terms at the wall now.
  3. This is utterly fatuous, flattening everything to vague ideas and ignoring the actual context. You cannot talk about past colonization without referencing the European competition for territory, resources and prestige that drove it. It had very little to do with "doing good things." I also fail to see any commonality between "we need to colonize foreign lands and convert savages to our faith by the flame and sword" and "we should promote immigration so we have enough people to work and maintain our standard of living". It's also nonsensical to refer to contemporary immigrants as "settlers" unless you're one of those crack-brained "great replacement" theorists. Again, I have no idea what the f*ck you're banging on about here.
  4. Wrong and your chosen examples illustrate why. The filles du roi was an explicitly imperialist/colonialist project designed to increase the French population and assert French claims over an already occupied land. How individuals participating in that project viewed themselves is irrelevant. No foreign power is paying today's migrants to come here with the explicit motivation of occupying the land and asserting a claim upon it. Wtf does this have to do with anything?
  5. What are you even talking about? I think your conflation if immigration and colonization is bizarre and ahistorical is all. I mean, if you want, but my handle has nothing to do with race.
  6. But you're really only talking about *some* Europeans here.
  7. And I'm entitled to call that belief racist. Which it is. Anyway there's nothing intrinsic to white people that makes them the greatest makers of doo-dads and gadgets. Yeah white racists love the Japanese for some reason, which is funny to me.
  8. TFW you don't know what colonization means. I'm not joking when i say you need serious psychological help.
  9. It's not cheating, it's stealing. Cry harder.
  10. Weird to see a simp for monarchy talk about the bourgeoisie like its a bad thing, but then i don't expect someone as clearly and deeply mentally ill as you to be consistent. You should get help tho.
  11. Here you say "in many ways, i do believe that (whites are the superior race) to be true." The obvious corollary is that you believe that non-white races are inferior. I mean damn.
  12. See, this is why you need to get out of your right wing information bubble and actually listen to what centre-left people actually believe. Hell, even just read history because then you'd know that MacDonald didn't withhold food from Indigenous people to prevent them from being dependent on the government, but to force them onto reserves where they would become dependent on government handouts.
  13. 1. This isn't an argument. 2. I'm not Michael.
  14. All this says is you are in a echo chamber and proud of it. You're complaining about the supposed lack of objectivity in "traditional trusted news sources" but everything here is overtly right of centre so it's clear "neutrality" isn't what you're looking for, but reinforcement of your preexisting beliefs.
  15. I'm going to continue to scan my organic produce in as the regular kind and Galen Weston can kiss my ass.
  16. Is this strawman nonsense just to deflect from the fact that you also think whites are superior but are too chickenshit to say it?
  17. No it's my way of saying your an illiterate baboon. Hey man check this out.
  18. More gibberish from our resident gibbon.
  19. You're really going with "I know you are but what am I?" Weak shit!
  20. The idea that this bill would mean people could be arrested for quoting the Bible is absurd. There's a difference between saying, for example, "the Bible forbids homosexuality" and saying "we should murder homosexuals because that's what the Bible tells us to do".
  21. Again, your boy Putin started this war and if you have your way, even more people would die when he steamrolls over Ukraine, including god knows how many civilians. More blood for your blood god.
