I wrote in this post that I’m uncomfortaple to argue “genetical[ly] or genealogical[ly]” why people “belong” in some place or another. I think that’s ethno-nationalist reasoning and a “weapon of the enemy” reasoning applies. Even if it’s in favour of Palestinians.

But apparently, that’s “settler-colonialist apologism” for dessalines. Ethno-nationalism is ok if it’s targeting “the right” people, I guess. /s

I think the reasoning of the comment removal is bollocks. Just because I don’t want to argue why someone “belongs” someplace because of their genes, I’m not all of a sudden in favour of settler-colonialism.

    I mean does the argument that European Jews have a claim to some distant land because some of their ancestors came from there hundreds to thousands of years ago really need to engaged with as a serious argument?

    Considered the amount of time i see this argument on social media show that the argument is a serious argument from zionists so yeah i think it is important to adress it

    Just look at the far right demonstration in the uk. They couldn’t gather as much people few years ago despite the ideology they hold that no civilized people should accept them

    Even a ridiculous theory like fat earth is gaining popularity, 2% of Americans believe in it that’s 6 millions people
