      If you’re Amerikan, then you live in the bowels of the single most brutal settler-colonial entity to exist in the modern era. “Settling” is not a once-and-done action; it is a constant state as long as you are on settled land. Explain to me how you think that’s slander.

      Better yet, https://readsettlers.org and get out of my inbox lmao

      EDIT: This peckerwood is really in my DMs right now whatabout-ing his little cracker-assed heart out tryna do anything to scrub the stink of being a settler off 'em-- eve to the point of trying to scapegoat China of all people. Really had the nerve to “yeah but watabout China??? What they did to Tibet was settling, wasn’t it!!!” Langley’s not sending their best, ladies and gentlemen.
