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.
