resource extraction near some town? And they’re not like colnized oppressed people they’re just some probably comfortable British people. They’re not in some anti-colonial struggle give me a break.
They’re not colonized or oppressed because Argentina’s attempt to turn them into such failed. If Argentina gained control of the Falklands then the inhabitants would become oppressed because you can’t maintain a presence in a place over and against the will of the people there without doing a little oppression.
Historically, how have occupying powers dealt with local populations that overwhelmingly don’t want them there?
Yeah those occupying powers like the British Empire. You’re gonna act like Alberto Fernandez is gonna massacre some people living on an island lol.
A hostile local population is an obstacle to resource exploitation and capitalists will remove that obstacle one way or another.
