Happy Native American Heritage Month, relatives. Today, I want to kick off this month by talking about accountability. After the year we’ve had, nobody gets to pretend colonialism is just a history lesson.

Israeli bulldozers are “terraforming” the landscape to erase all traces of Palestinian life. With thousands of bodies still unrecovered from under destroyed buildings, Israel’s flattening, extraction and reshaping of the rubble in Gaza is a continuation of its crimes, says Weizman.

As a blue eyed white man who rules a country so large it controls 1/3 of the Asian landmass from a city in europe, I like Africans who beleive that Russia got that way without colonialism cos colonising without boats isn't colonising.
Ukriane's imperialist war of defense is just more proof.

the (post-)soviet system--colonialism in one country
the Imperial core of Moscow/St Petersburg taking up the lions share of revenue generated by the periphery. Russia really is a contrast between two visions: that prosperous inner core and then the far more impoverished and run down 'provinces.'

And this doesn't count their colonialism in Africa
And this doesn't count their colonialism in Africa
The russian Federation is an empire across 11 time zones, ruled ruthlessly from one city that drains oil from Siberia, diamonds from Yakutia and soldiers from Buryatia. Calling it a nation with security interests misreads the ruscist federation completely.

Colonialism becomes liberation when you replace the Spanish, British, French, American, etc., flags with a Russian one. It's all about colors, you know.
