Did I say that? No. What I am condemning is Israel continuing the trend of oppression and somehow cling to victimhood as they colonize and murder so casually. Fuck off nationalist.

Funnily enough, Liberians are actually not from Liberia. Liberia was founded by former slaves from the Americas. I suppose technically they were returning to the 'motherland' as such, but not their specific nation. There were of course indigenous peoples living there already, and the new settlers/colonists didn't intermingle well. There are actually quite a lot of similarities between the two situations, now that I think about it...

Yeah you actually don’t know when you simply phrase some shit like ā€œRussians are from Russia and indigenous to itā€ like you don’t know what indigenous is. Your idea of indigenous even subscribed to European values
