    Decolonization will obviously look different in a white majority settler country like amerikkka and a white minority apartheid country like South Africa, so you can’t really point at other examples of decolonization and say “just do that in america.”

      No disagreement there. I don’t think I was making the point that decolonizing settler-majority states will look like decolonial efforts in extractive-colonial or minority settler states? All my examples are of actions in the last 50 years that have taken place on so-called north america.

      Just pushing back against this subtle genocide denial of ‘too far gone’ I see from settlers all the time. It erases both the current decolonial actions and (more grossly IMO) the current and ongoing genocidal actions taking place.
