#fascinated (not in a good way) by the usamerican dialogue as if usamericans are the only ones complicit in imperialism#what could have been a great dialogue about how imperialism can be perpetuated by nonwhite ppl from the US turned really racist and somehow#left out other westerners that are complicit like the Netherlands/France/Britain/Belgium in the dialogue#the country (and others) where my parents are from does not speak english because of the US. it's bc of the British empire#they were owned by Britain up until the 1960s#personal#editing to add: im not trying to downplay the role of the us in imperialism because its heinous#but my parents’ country was affected by us and british imperialism#and Spain - cant believe i left out why so many countries in the Western hemisphere speak Spanish#and Portugal for Brazil#im grateful for the posts that have dialogue that made me think about my position as an american but saying unlimited genocide to america#on a post about americans is just something#how do you claim to be anti imperialist yet make statements that are exactly what us presidents have said an#about the indigenous population#i think about that post where someone said that ppl arent actually looking for justice or liberation#they just want to be the oppressir so bad
