    Guy justifying White Colonialism with some fable about his race having a right to the land.

    Every single colonialist movement that steals land fmro the natives and mass murders them has bullshit like this, all the way back to when the English stole the land from the natives and started calling themselves Americans.

      Goes far further back than that. The Persian invasion of Turkey and the subsequent Greek invasion of Persia and Egypt comes to mind.

      Roman conquests of the Mediterranean. The islamic conquest of North Africa, the Balkans and India.

      Colonialism is not a new concept, it’s conquest them staying to impose your culture on the locals and exploiting the local resources.

      Russia’s invasion of Ukraine also has colonialist objectives.
