Colonialism is the exploitation of people and of resources by a foreign group.

Oh, so what is and isn’t colonialism is dictated by which side of a glorified fence the government-funded murderers, torturers and rapists are born on?

Don’t you liberals have anything substantial to hide behind?

they wanted to exterminate and replace them. Not colonialism.

So Native Americans weren’t victims of colonialism, then?

It doesn’t take a lot for you to show your true colors, does it?

Germany famously didn’t manifest any colonial holdings

Oh, so apart from the colonialist slaughter inside the Soviet Union that Germany didn’t do (according to you), they also didn’t perpetrate bog-standard colonialist genocide against the Herero and Nama in Namibia, eh?

What is next, apologist? The Holocaust was a hoax, perhaps?

A week after the government lifted mask mandates here in South Africa the lady who usually helped me at the local pharmacy was dead. She was immunocompromised, and it took just a week of people huffing their breath on her for her to catch COVID and die. Just like that.

I wear my mask religiously whenever I walk into any building. No one is getting COVID because of my criminal negligence.

But it’s not just that. I also wear my mask because I don’t believe people should be allowed to simply forget COVID and all the shitfuckery about our society that it exposed.

Sorry, I know this rant doesn’t help you in any way.

Well now you have 7 shrimp and 4,635 rice.

You’ll never take me alive.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this.

I can only guess that the liberals on here are thoroughly invested in treating fascism and colonialism as some kind of “aberration,” unfortunate oopsies, in their otherwise pristine concept of the liberal nation state.

Fascism is against your own people, colonialism is against other peoples.

That is literally the dumbest thing I have ever heard said in regards to this subject.

You mean the history books that will never, ever classify the Nazi slaughter in eastern Europe as colonialist, despite the fact that colonialist justification doesn’t get more blatantly colonialist than “lebensraum”?

Or do you mean the history books that completely ignore the perfectly blatant fact that the wellsprings of fascism are all “western” (ie, white) countries that have deep histories of colonialist slaughter and exploitation?

Are those the history books you are referring to?

Because Arab lives have no value in Israeli western society.

FTFY.

To be fair, Jewish lives also only matters to the west if they are busy murdering brown people.

Sooo, which part of…

I was reading them long before you were born, Clyde.

…didn’t you get the first time around?

Again. If you are so desperate to cling onto your favorite capitalist-parasite-by-day, fascist-vigilante-at-night wish-fulfillment fantasy I won’t stop you. But if you want to get all reactionary and salty when people point out the obvious about the media you have invested so much into you should expect pushback.

I was reading them long before you were born, Clyde.

Holy shit, but crypto-fascists are coming out of the woodwork to defend their right-wing, Objectivist power fantasies.

If you are so desperate to cling onto your favorite capitalist-parasite-by-day, fascist-vigilante-at-night wish-fulfillment fantasy who am I to stop you?

Often they’re upset about how things are and feel like killing a bunch of people will change things.

Just like Batman, eh?

In real life wanting change isn’t bad. But using violence

So as long as your desire for change doesn’t actually threaten the people at the top, it’s all okay?

That is literally what the people creating this kind of propaganda wants you to believe.

Are you sure you’re not being reactionary?

Yes.

It’s attacking the people that watch these movies…

No, it doesn’t. It literally just demonstrates how we are swamped by this pro-status quo propaganda. That is most definitely not what an “elitist anti-working class” narrative looks like at all. If you want to see what an “elitist anti-working class” narrative looks like, go watch any Batman movie.

Yes it is, despite all the nay-sayers on here. The super-creep genre has always been reactionary and protective of the status quo.

That’s the joke/point in many comics and comic book movies, too.

No, it isn’t.

What the cartoonist is very accurately depicting is the super-creep genre’s typical practice of painting subversive ideas as inherently dangerous.

Well intentioned extremist

Funny, that’s how people who want change is portrayed by liberal media in real life, too.

I wonder if it’s a coincidence?

He can be played by Rob Schneider.

Congrats. You win the internet today.

The United States and the UK successfully blocked attempts to outlaw all use of incendiary weapons

That’s because incendiary weapons are great for exterminating villages full of poor people in the colonized world - ie, the kind of wars the US and UK prefer to wage.

Artificial intelligence is worse than humans in every way

As if capitalists have ever cared about that…
