    carrying water for colonialism even though you probably don’t even benefit from it. why do people act like this. like conservative working class people who keep voting for tax cuts for the rich, as though they are “temporarily inconvenienced millionaires”.

      Look at the result of the US election and tell me why you think it is beneficial to promulgate this simplistic colonizer/colonized, oppressor/oppressed narrative. It is no longer useful. Identity politics has become the new McCarthyism of the left. I am on the left, and I want us to extract our heads from our collective asses and start talking about things that matter to non-indoctrinated people.
