Well my guess is that it is actually quite intuitive from a settler point of view. If we cant have a settler state in this place, then we will obviously have to disposses someone else to fix it. There is no imaginable way forward when you refuse to accept land theft is a defining feature of America so one might through their hands up in disgust, or justify it. It is not entirely different from the logic that goes into the occupation of Palestine. To question it is practically an atrocity with colonial logic. To be sure there is a marxist flavor to this that we must be on guard for.

Of course it is not Indigenous people saying all this rather but reactionaries that oppose decolonization. Likewise, it is typically white settlers, and other colonial accomplices, saying it would be genocide to return land and dismantle settler institutions. There is always a move to center white settler subjectivity and claim innocence. This should always be a red flag. It is bigger than individual failings, it is also a community problem as well. We have to hold each other accountable.

With time people can hopefully learn more. Just as we how when we learn more about how capitalism functions we are better able to combat it. Same for the idiosyncrasies of colonialism and the sensibilities it fosters. It is unfortunately common for people to lash out like this when faced with this. I think we should show patience for our comrades while we still do our best to explain. We simultaneously can’t let ignorant, potentially dangerous, comrades compromise those that we should be championing. We risk putting people in danger and discrediting ourselves.
