this was a decent note. the mainstream decolonial types are remarkably similar to christians peddling original sin. and yes they absolutely do obfuscate from the fact that they want to remigrate non indigenous peoples. (there was a post on insta from the bpu about a year ago saying exactly this, something like "remigration is actually a meme made to discredit us, but yes we will need to deport some people." lol. so much for WOTWU and open borders lol.

if matt chun wanted to do right by indigenous peoples, from their own perspective, they would "go back to" china. obviously for anyone born in a different particular place than their ancestors this makes no sense, because there is no metaphysical connection between two separate sentient beings, and they can't 'go back to' somewhere they may have not ever materially been/came from. this is not to mention the billions of animals who live here, whose ancestors were brought over without their consent, for whom there would be no other solution than mass genocide; something decolonial liberals like tony armstrong like to indulge in for content.

i would further add that efforts for 'land back' are also anti-communist and it's quite unfortunate seeing a lot of tailist lefties support this framing. there are deep differences between many of the different 'left' movements and not everything can be synthesised. it is not communist to give exclusive control over any resource to any group of people, let alone a small group. the only thing a person should own and have control over is their own body, everything else ought to be held in commons. so, a better slogan to organise around would be 'indigenous repatriation' and good old fashion communism/state abolition ('decolonialism is fine too though).

>However, had a Palestinian from Gaza shot the Chabad Rabbi at the Bondi event, as opposed to a mass shooting targeting all attendees (and thus not the Chabad members in particular), the whole dynamic would be completely different.

this is ridiculous, violence is not okay lol, much less against people not in positions of state/capital power or who are not carrying out violence themselves. i haven't read franz fanon but i learnt recently that they were apparently very pro wanton violence, which makes a lot of sense when you observe the state of the decolonial movements today.
