the black nationalism debate is genuinely one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life
"colonized people claim to be oppressed, and they are. white nationalists claim to be oppressed, but they aren't. these are the exact same because they say the same thing."
"people who are being colonized have a right to 'self-determination'? hmmm that's a neo-nazi dogwhistle, I think you might be a neo-nazi because you said 'self-determination'."
"colonized people rising up against the oppressors? hmm that sounds like germany committing industrial scale mass genocide against jewish people don't you think? [dreamworks face smirks into camera] no i dont think it matters that jews aren't colonizers and were instead an oppressed minority group."
"jews in the holocaust? white people in post-apartheid south africa? mm basically the same thing dont you think"
The idea behind “principled” takes like this is that if you can build a robust enough model of the world in your head, you can just plug information in and good takes will come out the other end. It’s basically the liberal idea of society, but internally.
Also, this is what happens when you learn about nationalism through osmosis via Internet nazis.

Wait so nazis lie about being an oppressed peoples in search of freedom from their oppressors? :shocked-pikachu:
Who could imagine a guy who's screen name used to be "Irish Laddy" would have bad opinions on race
