i think more people need to realize that indigeneity is a broader phenomenon than they think it is. stolen land is most egregious in settler colonies like the united states/canada/australia but oversimplifying things like that makes it harder to recognize other genocidal efforts throughout the world. ryukyu and ainu moshiri are stolen land. dokdo is stolen land. artsakh is actively being stolen. fuck, northern ireland is stolen land. and genuinely i think this is getting in the way of a lot of people's understanding of what's happening in palestine—the inability to recognize that colonization and genocide can take many forms, and that doing so is necessary in order to stop it before it's too late.

#solidarity between native people and irish people and armenians and palestinians and koreans forever. #i'm forgetting a lot but the list is. Long #solidarity between all indigenous people—those who have gotten their land back and those who are still fighting #recognizing the damage imperialism has done to my own people's culture has really made me understand a lot about what is happening in the r #*rest of the world. unfortunately not everyone has the privilege of lived experience or the ability to even recognize it #a lot of other korean people don't realize how Fucked we've gotten and how we're actively buying into the us's bullshit #but a lot of us are seeing our own experiences in those of indigenous and colonized peoples everywhere and fighting for what's right #idk where i was going with this #he scream at own follower #i think i'm mostly bad at white baby leftists who are still trying to bothsides this #*mad at #because they can't wrap their heads around the fact that the colonizer isn't entirely White Christians (even though the White Christians ar #*are funding the colonizer's effors) #*efforts #and because they still have leftover islamophobia they want to find every excuse they can to Not have to sympathize with muslims
