He called me a setter and a nazi out of the blue, and I asked him if he slanders everyone or if he has a reason for saying that about me, then he replies with this legendary quote:
If you’re Amerikan, then you live in the bowels of the single most brutal settler-colonial entity to exist in the modern era. “Settling” is not a once-and-done action; it is a constant state as long as you are on settled land.
Colonialism was terrible, but technically all land is settled. Humans always moved and settled somewhere else, even before we could be classified as homo sapiens, and that was often brutal too when we encountered others. There’s ultimately no space where we truly came from or belong to.
Im pretty sure we all came out of africa
You realize how big Africa is? And it isn’t like we just plopped in existence there.
You’re right we gotta dig up all of Africa to look for the oldest skeleton first
All land is not settled until treaties are honoured. See #LandBack
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. Land Back is about colonization. I’m very specifically going back to human origins and how we, as homo sapiens, spread across the globe. This includes what we consider “natives” in America, Australia, Europe, and other parts of the globe where we did not originate from. All those places were settled by us and were not inhabited by humans originally.
