    You know as an American you can join anticolonialism efforts. You didn’t choose to be born in a settler colony but you can choose to resist it. You absolutely can and should involve yourself with anti-imperialism.

    You shouldn’t fall into nihilism. Things may seem hopeless, but we’re not dead yet. Plenty of work to do.

    • They’re commenting on a leftist forum, I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt that that indicates at least a desire to be involved in such things in the real world.

      I have had some comments replying to me before, implying that what happened at the rave is what needs to and should happen to all colonists, because clearly I don’t understand what decolonisation means (even though I am someone whose been involved in décolonisation activism in the past and at no point was my forced removal from North America or murder part of the discussion).
