The American media loves saying that, but does it really have a right to exist? Does an apartheid colonizing regime have the right to exist in someone else’s land?

    slavery “ended” only 160 years ago in the united states. Convict leasing wasn’t fully abolished until 1942. The 13th amendment allows slavery as punishment for a crime, and prisoners are paid a pittance or not at all for labor they perform.

    The genocide of indigenous people is still happening.

    american society is incredibly racist (among other structural prejudices) to this day and you are an ignorant, reactionary liberal.

      Ok? Everything you said is true. Why are you making it seem like I love slavery or think that slavery and it’s consequences magically disappeared?

      Thanks for strawmanning my entire argument.

      This entire conversation was based on the fact that you can’t cleanly divide American society as colonized and colonizer except for very niche cases, and that if you can’t make that distinction why is it a prime decider of who gets thrown in reeducation?

      Thanks for the name calling though!
