Quote me or that's just emotional talk. Demonstrate how exactly. Here is what I said, Which part of ‘Arabs doing’ magically translates to ‘white people doing’ in your head? Which part of ‘Arab uniforms’ implies there are white folks hiding inside them instead of the Arabs I clearly named...

Take your pic.

Exactly!!! ‘Colonial logic’ never meant ‘white European’ in my usage. I was talking about the structure of modern identity and domination, not the skin color of whoever’s applying it. Calling it ‘colonial’ refers to the framework: fixed identities, hard borders, population management, and the...

You’re right, nobody owes me mind-reading. But by that same logic, I don’t owe anyone a defense against arguments they manufactured either.

My bad about the mother comment, it’s just an idiom where I’m from, not literal. Anyway, my point still stands: the Sudanese didn’t ‘learn’ ethnic cleansing from anyone. They’re operating inside a modern framework that makes this kind of thing possible, and that framework happens to be a...

Go ask your mama, ’cause my statement sure doesn’t warrant that question, but maybe she’ll entertain it.

Let me make this real clear. All I said was the bolded part. So any statement claiming to know ‘what I really meant’ is not mine. Capisce? You could’ve just asked instead of assuming, and when I offer corrections, actually read them and understand the context. I honestly didn’t expect people to...

Still not reading, I see. They’re carrying out ethnic cleansing within the modern framework Europeans left behind, the same framework that makes this kind of thing possible in the first place. Jesus Christ. And if you disagree with my argument, just say that. Don’t pull a turd out of your ass...

Bruh, learn to read. I’m not getting pressed over which ‘civilized world’ they learned it from, I’m getting pressed over a claim I never even made. I never said Sudanese got no agency or that everything’s Europe’s fault. Y’all arguing with ghosts. Anyway, to answer the question you didn’t ask...

The bold and underlined part is mine. If anyone had actually asked me about that instead of arguing against a claim I never made, my responses would’ve covered it.

Geez Louise. Where did I ever explicitly say Sudan has no internal history or that Europe did everything? Quote it. You can’t, because I never said it. That claim isn’t coming from my words, it’s coming from how you felt reading my words. Your reply basically agrees with what I said, then...

The part that makes this moment different isn’t just partisan ambition, every major political system has factions that want to lock in power. What’s unusual now is the convergence of three things that historically destabilize democracies: extreme polarization, procedural manipulation becoming...

So you're seeing chimps running around the jungle checking each other’s fur color like, ‘Nah, you too dark for this side of the canopy,’ setting up little vine-cut checkpoints, making birth registries out of mud, and dragging whole families out the trees because they came from the ‘wrong’ troop...

aaiight look. I’m aint out here trying to cram Sudan’s whole history into some fucking Europe-made blueprint. :rolleyes: What I said was simple: modern ethnic cleansing ain’t the same thing as old-school conquest, even if the body count looks similar. Sudanese folks are acting inside their own...

What Jimmy’s describing actually lines up with how democracies historically decline. They don’t usually collapse because someone announces ‘no more elections’, they collapse when legal processes are used to invalidate, override, or selectively refuse electoral outcomes. That’s the pattern we saw...

Caste hierarchies and ancient forms of forced labor aren’t the same thing as modern ethnic cleansing. :rolleyes: The Indian caste system was a social and religious hierarchy within a single ethnic population, not an ideology about eliminating whole groups based on biological race. Likewise...

There’s an important distinction being missed here. Ancient empires, whether Roman, Chinese, or anyone else, absolutely conquered, killed, and displaced people, but their violence wasn’t identical to modern racial ideology. It was political, territorial, or tied to rebellion. Groups could...

It’s impressive how my explanation of the difference between pre-modern conquest (which was about power, tribute, and rebellion) and modern ethnic cleansing (which is built on racial ideology and nation-state logic) somehow became, in your reading, a claim that Jews and ancient Chinese never...

Oh wow, so either you're making the claim that ethnic cleansing didn’t originate with Europeans or history shouldn’t be mentioned when it involves Europeans because Derec stops feeling warm and cozy inside. Got it.

That’s just how you feel, because you haven't offered any evidence outside of your feelings to back up the claim.
