yeah but at least you arent moving into an active fucking warzone
this is like getting into a wagon and going out to indian country in the 1800s and being surprised you got scalped. but its worse because those people ostensibly were given ‘free’ land
Yeah, though I’d say it does point to a deeper underlying truth. The settler class goes along with colonial projects because they’re beneficiaries of those projects - they get free land and resources and don’t particularly care that it’s at someone else’s expense. But in the end even they are expendable to capital, and once it’s run out of other places to extract profits, it turns on them. It devours its sons last, but it devours them nonetheless. None of us are free until all of us are free.
Couldn’t be me
