I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I see it as modern day colonialism (i.e., implicit and explicit attitudes that the ‘in-group’ has the right to displace, eradicate, and fabricate whatever it wants to establish the social order it desires in other parts of the world) with deep historical roots. As a white-skinned person of European ancestry living in the land commonly known as Canada, watching the global power brokers’ actions surrounding the Israeli government’s genocide of the Palestinian people has helped me better understand the colonialist genocide that the country I call home was founded on in terms of relations between Turtle Island/North American Indigenous Peoples and the European colonizers. I saw a great quote on Lemmy recently, something like, “those who don’t know their history will repeat it; those who seek to eliminate or rewrite history seek to recreate it.”
