    Stop fucking calling them “settlers”…

    We should get 20 people to set up in the authors kitchen, then tell them it’s totally just chill, because we’re fucking settling their kitchen.

    I’d imagine they’d quickly re-evaluate the definition of “settler”.

      I mean, throughout all human history, this is what settlers have done. When they settled the Western United States. It was by kicking my peoples from their homes. Settlers has always been a dirty word.

      I get your point but this type of action has always been part and parcel of settler colonialism. They cynically write their own history/propaganda. The same shits that deny these things haven’t happened over and over again are terrified of immigrants because of their own internalised behaviours.
