Yeah. Here, I'll say it again because you seem so bewildered by anyone challenging your rose-colored view of "western" (ie, white) imperialism. This...
Fascism is against your own people, colonialism is against other peoples.
...is literally the dumbest thing I have ever heard said in regards to this subject.
Who the fuck decides who belongs to what, genius? The colonizers? You?
Colonialism is the exploitation of people and of resources by a foreign group.
Oh, so what is and isn't colonialism is dictated by which side of a glorified fence the government-funded murderers, torturers and rapists are born on?
Don't you liberals have anything substantial to hide behind?
they wanted to exterminate and replace them. Not colonialism.
So Native Americans weren't victims of colonialism, then?
It doesn't take a lot for you to show your true colors, does it?
Germany famously didn’t manifest any colonial holdings
Oh, so apart from the colonialist slaughter inside the Soviet Union that Germany didn't do (according to you), they also didn't perpetrate bog-standard colonialist genocide against the Herero and Nama in Namibia, eh?
What is next, apologist? The Holocaust was a hoax, perhaps?
I can only guess that the liberals on here are thoroughly invested in treating fascism and colonialism as some kind of "aberration," unfortunate oopsies, in their otherwise pristine concept of the liberal nation state.
You mean the history books that will never, ever classify the Nazi slaughter in eastern Europe as colonialist, despite the fact that colonialist justification doesn't get more blatantly colonialist than "lebensraum"?
Or do you mean the history books that completely ignore the perfectly blatant fact that the wellsprings of fascism are all "western" (ie, white) countries that have deep histories of colonialist slaughter and exploitation?
I was reading them long before you were born, Clyde.
...didn't you get the first time around?
Again. If you are so desperate to cling onto your favorite capitalist-parasite-by-day, fascist-vigilante-at-night wish-fulfillment fantasy I won't stop you. But if you want to get all reactionary and salty when people point out the obvious about the media you have invested so much into you should expect pushback.
If you are so desperate to cling onto your favorite capitalist-parasite-by-day, fascist-vigilante-at-night wish-fulfillment fantasy who am I to stop you?
It’s attacking the people that watch these movies…
No, it doesn't. It literally just demonstrates how we are swamped by this pro-status quo propaganda. That is most definitely not what an "elitist anti-working class" narrative looks like at all. If you want to see what an "elitist anti-working class" narrative looks like, go watch any Batman movie.
Just like all Zionists, then.
