That’s why I hate when people use the name of the leader of the colonialists to represent what the colonialists have done or want to do instead of saying it’s the colonialists.
Too bad Lemmygrad doesn’t have rules about parroting capitalistic/imperialist propaganda…
Anyway, hope Yemen doesn’t stop their support for Palestinians in their defence from the western supported and colonialist led Genocide in case the colonialists take a step back to reorganize.
It’s hard to decolonise one’s speech. Propaganda is so ingrained in our brains it’s hard to filter all of it. And I wasn’t even born and educated in the capitalist core.
Its a journey for all of us, and I’m happy we have people like yourself here to point out those details.
I meant more something about word usage to not use pro capitalist/imperialist terms. Like saying the US or colonialist entity instead of the imperialist names that they gave themselves, or as I mentioned above, calling any action done by the colonialist entity or any other imperialist country as an action of the country and not it’s “leader” since the leader is not much more than a spokesperson for the the people with power.
I can only speak for myself, but I don’t think placing such rigid restrictions on word choice would be appreciated by most users. It’s fine in individual communities (like this one, although the sidebar also recognizes that slip-ups are inevitable) but in general I’d consider it excessive
