      ^This is what stupidity looks like

      Colonialism? Are you serious? Or seriously out of your mind? Just because some random ass people who happened to come from my country went to another country I have to take “go fuck yourself” from an American who won’t do anything about Trump and get called a colonialist on top of that?

      F that

              Every country in Europe invaded another at some point in our history and treated the indigenous inhabitants as slaves or flat-out murdered them. The vast majority of European countries also had oversea colonies.

            You unknowingly told all indigenous people to go fuck themselves. An indigenous person told you that they are struggling and to go fuck yourself. You got your panties twisted and instead of saying " my bad, I agree you guys aint the problem" you doubled down.

            Your mindset is one of willful ignorance towards the plight of the indigenous people of the americas. It is a colonizers mindset. Your ignorance towards them makes you feel comfortable looping them in with all the european immigrants that came over and their offspring without a second thought.

              LMAOOO yeah right. Telling someone to go fuck themselves is a pretty deliberate action. Please enlighten me how unknowingly telling someone to go fuck themselves works. Obviously I doubled down. I am right. Why wouldn’t I?

              I am very well aware of the atrocities committed by white Europeans, thanks Mr. Mansplainer. It just shouldn’t be used as an excuse to tell other Europeans, who are living now and had nothing to do with it to go fuck themselves. It shouldn’t be used as an excuse to not have to lift a finger to oust your white dictator now.

              So perhaps you can try to keep your ignorance in check and stop doubling down on it.
