Ideally, a community about the effects of colonialism would be moderated by victims of colonialism. Though I’m Irish-American and am dating a Native American, I do not properly represent decolonialization.
So, this community needs moderators of colour, who can help ensure that the moderation of this community won’t accidentally favour whatever latent colonialism I may not have realized within myself yet.
If you want to moderate this community, please get in touch with me.

Already an admin, but thx for making.
I’m currently working through college stuff, but if the community still needs mods, I’ll throw my cap in the ring.
congratulations, you won
I can help, but know I’ve had no experience being a mod.
De Valera was no socialist. His ideal were the maidens dancing at the crossroads. He was a Catholic church petit-bourgeois stooge.
I’m not saying he’s a socialist. But he was a very important figure for Irish independence and the revolutionary struggle against the British.
Irish-American
Let me guess, you have never lived in Ireland.

He originates from Lemmy; he probs would. From what I’ve seen so far, they all assume they’re talking to other anglos
average lemmy user
No, the thing is that I hear it all the time. But no one in Ireland would consider him Irish in any way. Guess that happens when a country doesnt have any culture of its own.

My grandfather moved to the US in the 1960s because until that point he had lived more than half of his life in and out of prison for believing in a free Ireland. And though he had settled down in Texas, he still regularly returned to Ireland until the 80s to continue fighting for a united Ireland. All the while continuing to periodically serve time in British prisons.
That man was an Irish Republican to his core, he died when I was young but every time I met with him he’d passionately tell me about all of the injustices the British have pushed against our people.
but sure, go off I guess.
“ Ideally, a community about the effects of colonialism would be moderated by victims of colonialism. Though I’m Irish-American and am dating a Native American, I do not properly represent decolonialization.” Read before making a fool of yourself.
