I have a problem with a leader in the Americas overlooking the genocide in the Americas. It’s important that people understand the genocide in Gaza as a settler-colonial genocide against an indigenous population.
Not at all! They are like Nazis, for sure, but it’s even more accurate to compare it to the American genocides. This isn’t just a fascist government killing off a surplus population, it’s a settler-colonial government killing off the indigenous population. It’s important this is centered when we talk about Palestine.
There was genocide all across the Americas. In South America there was less extermination, yes, but systematic destruction of culture and language and identity was rampant. Lots of enslavement too. Less direct killing, but genocide just the same.

“this person didn’t take time out of criticizing one genocide to criticize another, therefore fuck them and their entire point”

Especially from a leader in the Americas.
Man you know North and South America are two different continents right?
