      This used to be one of my favourite phrases, until I realised that, actually, it is written by the one side that has better PR/marketing. It is mostly, but not always, the same as the winners.

        History is rewriten again and again in realtime by a million “public relations” and “news” organizations.

        Look at how the US often approaches things like the Confederacy. Especially with Texas controlling many of the books.

              Right, so why do I know about how bad the “winners” are?

                Because there’s some dedicated Marxists that shine light on it with historical materialist analysis trying to fight the winners hegemonic Interpretation of history (the west are the winners and the baddies)

                  Ironically imperialist, but yes I wasn’t actually asking why there are histories critical of settler-colonialism and capitalist hegemony.

    “I’m not racist BUT” is one hell of a dog whistle. I honestly can’t tell if this is a purposefully shitty take making fun of genociders, or a purposefully shitty pro-genocide take.

      Isn’t it just commentary on how both groups (white supremacists, and Jewish supremacists ie Zionists) declare themselves special in the eyes of a god that grants them an undue sense of entitlement to enforce a specific social hierarchy that favors them above everyone else?

    And ethnostates there are just rebranded British colonies are the worst of them all.

    I think those currently supporting Israel would very much welcome the US being a white ethnostate
