Americans are being killed in the street right now fighting back
More often than not, they’re being killed on the street (or in their homes or bleeding out in hospital wards or in detention cells) without ever lifting a finger. This isn’t Sparta. We’re not a bunch of paramilitary guerrillas with years of experience resisting an armed occupation. The bulk of American resistance is rhetorical - protest marches, sit ins, etc - because that’s what we’ve all been trained to believe is the most effective.
Not sure what point is being made here
That apologies fall flat when the bombs start landing. Greenland people need a real material international resistance to Trumpist Imperialism, not a Wisconsin Nice “gee golly this isn’t what we wanted” letter from the well-meaning people working at the F-35 jet engine factory.
Oh, sorry if that offended the americans heros who are protesting against what they voted for. Being Canadian, knowing that makes me realize everything is ok and I will stop mentionning your country is threatening to annex mine on a daily basis because some of you don’t want to too. Greenland and Venezuela should also stfu and let americans handle this like they always do, the best possible way.
Ope, can’t say “I didn’t vote for this” because that’s an annoying cliche too. I’m guessing you helped bury those Inuit kids under that schoolyard since you’re Canadian and you all think that same like all Americans do
JFK, yeah, excellent example: the whole point of the reconciliation process is recognizing that there is collective responsibility beyond individual actions.
I didn’t direct the genocide, but fucking rights I benefit as a settler, and repairing that involves both compensation and recognition of the existence of those benefits. It’s an ongoing struggle here as a lot of immature thinking still exists, crying about “it wasn’t me, stop blaming” while eating the fruits of colonialism every breathing moment.
Greenlanders don’t own land. They don’t have this individualism problem very much.
I’m all for reconciliation, and trying to make things better even if you didn’t participate in the colonialism. That is a good thing to do and something I try to do on my own life.
We’re not talking about that in this thread.
We’re talking about collective blame for the actions of others. If your government does something that’s amoral, and even if you’re trying to stop it, it does it anyway, are you copable?
Reconciliation says that even if you didn’t do the things, if you benefit from it, it’s your responsibility to try to fix it. That’s not what people are advocating for, they are gleefully saying people deserve to have a boot on their neck just because they happen to live in this country.
Doesn’t matter if you’re under the boot or wearing it, you’re all the same so you all deserve it, right? You Canadians voted for it and allowed it to happen.
Oh wait that’s a shitty take? Maybe reconsider using it on others.
Get fucked, we both know you wont be doing shit and will keep hiding behind your computer when he makes is move on Greenland and Canada. As long as Amazon will keep delivering them crap made in China, americans will be all words and no act.

Yeah lol, about that, let’s ask my Attikamek mom about her time in a residency school.
