Colonialism is illegitimate. Fascist ethnostates more so.

When do you set the line for it to be considered colonialism? From the Mizrahim perspective the Arab Palestinians are the colonists for example.
And very few population groups can claim to be the original human population of the place they live.
So you need a criteria, and the best one is probably considering if reverting the migration would fit in the definition of genocide, and erasing Israeli with it’s own unique language and religion would definitely fit the definition of genocide. And conversely so would be eliminating Palestine as a country.

Very reactionary position. Thinking like this what lets colonizers do what they’re doing.
Zionism isn’t some centuries old thing. It started in full force only around 70 years ago to serve British military interests in the region. People are literally being displaced and forced out of their homes by military right now.

From a genetic point of view claims like these become ridiculous.
Christianity was a jewish cult as well as also being right next to the founding of islam. If we count the splinter groups and genetic intermingling, all these claims become but ridiculous powerplays.

If that is so, what alternatives do we have to government?
Sanctus@lemmy.world 11 months ago
None. This is some pcm bullshit spilling over and yellow basically assumes they live in a vacuum and should be free to do anything like their actions do not affect other people. Because they’re libertarians.

At some point of organization, “laws” need to be writen, not to be an imposition but as a record of a common will to guide those to come and be stepping stone for something even better.
Something is not fair and just because it is law, but something that it is fair and just should.

Yes you should read about “franchise operated quasi-national entities” (FOQNEs) in Snow Crash.

Self-government, which all governments ultimately depend on anyway. "Obeying the law" just means that you are governing yourself in accordance to dictates handed down from on high. It's not like they can assign a cop to watch you 24/7, even in the most blatant of totalitarian police states.

Yeah, but we’d argue and kill each other who controls this Earth government.

Everything is subject to change, we could build Utopia if individuals were taught to use their brains, If we teach kids in schools to always be sheep and put themselves before the herd, if there’s more money for meat, Then there’s no future I see where the humans survive, we’re parasites inside the Petri dish, with cannibal mines, Mold will grow upon the surface, then consumes till it dies, and our fate could be the same without this story to the wise

Private property, not to be confused with personal property, is inherently theft.

I got another layer of radicalisation recently when on vacation, we wanted to go look at magnificent cliffs on the west coast of Ireland, a true natural wonder. The whole fucking place was private property, big sign at the entrance stating so, had to pay for parking and got walking up the hill to go watch the cliffs.
I was furious, this is an awe inspiring piece of nature, how can some fat cat just buy the land and charge people for the privilege of watching nature. Not even like they were offering any service, all there was was a shoddy barrier and some gravel for the path (which it would be fine if it either weren’t there).
Now, if this was managed by a non-profit or the government and they charged something to pay for maintenance, add attractions, or even just to pad out taxes for the local communities, then fine. But this wasn’t it, it was very clearly private as in “some rich banker from London” private.

Man, that sucks. Here in Scandinavia we have “right to roam” laws, which means you are allowed to walk around and even camp on any private property, as long as you’re not camping on farmland or too close to a residence.
But beyond that I think any land not being used for farming or housing should be illegal to own privately. Nature belongs to all of us.

Private property versus personal property is something i have been saying for years, glad to see someone else perspective about it.
I have a different angle then calling it theft, in my perspective a law can only ever be a suggestion because there is nothing in physics that stops me breaking it. We choose to follow laws and i am master of my own choices.
Therefor crime does not actually exist, only variable levels of asocial or hurtfull behavior which may get a response in public backlash. Basic human karma. When a bird grabs a gem, we dont call it stealing. When a wild animal kills we don’t charge it with murder.
Taking someone personal property is harm and asocial. Living identities are entitles to their personal belongings. The house they live, the clothes they wear, the family heirlooms that represents the emotional bond with past family.
Taking a bread from a local bakery without paying is asocial because the bakker who owns the bakery worked for that Bread to maintain their personal lives And to continue to provide for the community.
Taking all the bread In a supermarket chain is asocial, even if you pay form it because now others may not have any.
Grabbing a bread from a supermarket chain without paying because you can barely afford anything otherwise only hurst vague corporate profit. Neither the employees or manager are hurt and the big boss is living a mansion life in another country. There is nothing asocial about this type of “theft”, in fact its asocial from all off society to not provide free food and things to hungry weak and poor.

theft from future generations just to be annoying. my generation was robbed by this concept and we are still robbing the humans in the future by maintaining this system. we still haven’t even stopped global emissions. i mean, is this system really worth keeping when truly innocent people will suffer, like this is legit unfathomable.
