    I think we need to better educate people then. Because settler violence is state sponsored by definition. It is ethnic cleansing by definition. It is the exact same violence covered by rational sounding lies that we can see throughout the non European world from 1500 on. It is a very predictable cycle.

    Create tension with unpunished crimes, theft, assault, murder, doesn’t matter.

    Repeat until the indigenous population lashes out. It does not matter how minor. Even just a threat will do.

    Raise a posse and “defend” yourselves against them.

    Tell everyone they started it when they lashed out.

    Repeat until they’re stuck on reservations under military control and you control the vast majority of the land.
