So, you’re calling these people pedos?

ethnic and cultural background is so blended and so remixed that at any given moment they may not have any deeply rooted grounding in what the cultural origins of something they’re doing is

“Human” also works.

These cultures mixed together, brought their own tales of escaping genocide

“Survivors.” I prefer “comrades.”

isn’t quite like anything else anywhere on earth, though at the same time,

During the Roman Empire, we would be labeled as “peons.” “Slaves” even. But both these terms were also Authoritarian labels we choose to forgo. We decided then “companion, ally, friend” were better terms to label our struggle against oppressors. The same is true now. Many internationally see «American» as «Nazi», for good reason. Most of us wish that empire to die. So diasporadic colonized victims of American imperialism should label themselves anti colonist. «Luddites» was that term, so was «Redneck». I hope you see why many of us do not want to be associated with the genocides of «America».

The Cherokee called North America “Turtle Island” long before European settlers arrived on it. However, they have no name for a Pan-Turtle-Islander experience, especially because this leaves out South America as they have no name for that continent. So they call the people of these two continents “American”

Then you already found your new name: «Turtle Island Moss» Because you accidentally landed against your true habitats’ wishes home. Moss can adapt anywhere, but in Turtle Island, you found a home.

Fuck every hierarchy

✊🏿

president negotiated a trade agreement that allowed me to do so by the coincidence of me being born in a building where doctors used to torture Cherokee children

Precisely one of the reasons anarchists hate the term «American.» You’re not the American president, but some moss that managed to flourish in tortured land. His predatory behavior is not your doing, but one he must reperate for.

We’ve interacted in a few threads. I’ve enjoyed our interactions

I fail to recall them. Either way, I hope to continue interacting, esp. against our empires.

“All Americans admitted they were terrorists”

By the continued bipartisan populist global genocides, both Dems&Reps have admitted to support what Zionists are committing. If the so called diasporadic Pan-Americans had held these populists accountable, we wouldn’t be headed in this mass extinction event. I am, like @Sineljora@sh.itjust.works, blaming it on the populists that empower them. They label themselves as Americans, desiring the continued American “dream.” The unrepentant Afghan war. The subjugation of Tawantinsuyu, the demand to render Kalaallit Nunaat theirs, etc. etc… We justifiably despise the term “American” because all they do is terrorize, abroad, and now domestically. The chickens have come to roost.

Yeah, he double downed!

Can’t wait until real ❝Americans❞ compost’im.

This one came into my bloc🛜

no wonder mangadex updated their api recently.
🙇for the tip themachinestops.

Cool. I am going to stick to reminding folks electoralism doesn’t liberate and empower us proles. All the while reminding Mainers how much they actually need to reparate.

Liberals in this network just keep diving our collective efforts, and it’s extremely venomous.
Empowerment grassroots. It doesn’t populizes its demands.
I already saw populists already swinging for Jackson instead of demolishing deathcamps.

Until we are all free✊🏿!

i live in an internal colony of america. i don’t just renounce it, i i act in resistance to it every day because it is killing my neighbors

Then are you American, or the colonized? I’m colonized as well, so I renounce the label of my oppressors. I disassociate from their label, esp. because they are colonists

work alongside cherokee elders to protect our water

❤️‍🔥 What have they decided to called the land they are reclaiming?

the way platner has been centered in Lemmy’s conversation of late is extremely frustrating. unless you live in maine, you shouldn’t be thinking about him. your focus should be in organizing your community. one of the things i’ve said relatively frequently is that any time someone talks to you about platner that’s a sign it’s time to go for a walk

🤝🤝🤝🤝

owned by china, poison our water, and the rare earth mines, owned by denmark, poison our air.

Hey my colonizers got mentioned! Glad to find a comrade here who isn’t a dengist!🫂🤝

what did your comment accomplish, other than painting me with the broad brush you use to paint all americans?

Reflect if you’re truly American, or Cherokee. I know for sure I would never label myself, and my praxis, as Dengist. Yet I choose to never call myself “Chinese,” because I am not Chinese, I am a Comrade. Are you really American?

we have gotten along extremely well in the past

Wait where and when?

conservative or a liberal rather than what i am: an impoverished anarchist who doesn’t think electoralism can save us, only buy us time to organize a robust insurgency movement

What part of this is «American»? I am all for robust insurgency anti electoralist action, but what even is «American» about that?

I worked for many many relief situations like these. One quick way to both have the funds to settle people is to hire them on the spot doing relief work. Once all the relief is done, then you can rebudget to what the hired are actually good at, and assign them proper jobs.
Take loans if you have to, the influx pays for itself in a year or two.

The city can’t keep up.

HIRE THEM.

If you’re American, why haven’t you renounced your empire?
Maine’s genocide is still ongoing.
No land has been returned to indigenous folks.
The problems here are extremely rooted in imperialism. Platner participated in both.
He’s an unrepentant Nazi.
What actual violence are you “resisting”?

Ah. I had thought you were a 1) Mainer that 2) forgot the first thing about intersection 3) was to #landback to the Cree. The first thing as anarchist that we should be doing is anti-electoralizing populists in Maine and beyond. Maine doesn’t need Senators, it needs a revolution. If Platner really cared for Maine, he should be landbacking and reperating the people he affected by both on his tours & his merc deaths. But since we both know this is about money, Dems&Reps won’t assist. Maine’ Senate seat needs to come from the bottom. A homeless Cree would be poetically just.

My reaction is justified if you did study anarchist principles. I only apologize for assuming you had anything to do with this FPtP campaign. It’s fine to want intersect for unjust slander. But Platner isn’t an anarchist whatsoever. I admit my assumptions were wrong.

Truce?

half-heartedly defending a politician Comrade_Spood

Wait, what’s the display name for then?

I don’t live in Maine to be able to vanguard them an intersecting class. I am just aware their political literacy needs major improvements.

Removed by mod

I don’t think Maine is thoroughly class conscious enough to throw the entire race out, and pick themselves as the next Senate + Governorship. They are still playing populist FPtP.

Dunno who invited’m. I came here to salt more receipts.

Now this is neolib praxis in action👏

WHY DO LIBERALS KEEP JOINING ANTINEOLIBERAL /c/‽ WHO INVITED YOUR POPULIST ASS? GET OUT OF HERE IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO THROW ALL 7 POPS OUT!

You’re in an anarchist /c/… how did you end up confused as to what neoliberal praxis we are criticizing‽
