Why is it when someone makes a post like this it's always a white American man that looks like soyjack and never someone who was actually colonised?
-
- because indigenous people faced a 95-100% decimation by colonization—they were murdered and replaced by white people
- and i still see plenty of similar jokes from indigenous voices anyway so you’re not even right idk maybe you just follow the wrong people

95% of hawaiians were murdered by white people?
idk maybe you just follow the wrong people
You mean this community we both follow?

95% might be high but close. Maybe 85% is more accurate?
Cook and his men also brought syphilis and mosquitoes so fuck those dudes right in the ear.
By Swanson’s estimates, 1-in-17 Native Hawaiians had died within two years of Cook’s arrival. By 1800, the population had declined by 48% since Cook set foot on Hawaii. By 1820, it had declined 71%; by 1840, it declined 84%.

no, indigenous people. the ones who were “actually colonized” like you said.
and no you said it’s “always a white American man” implying you follow spaces where similar voices reign and i’m letting you know that’s a uniquely you experience that doesn’t have to stay that way.
talk about bad faith, must be exhausting to be like that.

You only follow white people ? I follow some people from our literal colonies (I'm french) and I see stuff like that quite often from them

No

They have to be offended on behalf of all those people who are too busy actually having a life.
-
Is disliking colonization really "getting offended on behalf of all those people"?
-
it’s not cool to be empathetic anymore you have to be edgy and reactionary even in the face of the greatest atrocities we know. haven’t you heard?
