Okay, so you did mean to promote fascism. I can tell you're a European by how you promote fascism and act entitled to do so with comfort; maybe they are all the same. You should read what I put before responding this way.

  • The use of whiteness was actually very intentional, it is a fluid category and if you noticed, I pointed out how Ireland was racialized despite the apparently inuitive fact that Irish people are white. You'll also notice that this was from a section that elaborates on how this mentality applies globally since, y'know, since you claimed that the lessons from Ireland are universal (like colonizers do). When we look at how it translates to other colonized spaces, like North America, we see that actually this is not the case.
  • I said the EU is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians, which it is and always has been. The fact that the Republic of Ireland would not leave the EU despite a cultural empathy toward Palestinians because of a shared colonial experience demonstrates how this system functions in fundamental ways to enable settler-colonial genocide internationally. The EU exists to prevent imperialism in Europe, which many European liberals and fascists such as yourself view as the real failure of the 20th century. Ireland's economic and political reliance on the EU enables the conditions where, despite clear signs that genocide should not happen internationally, any potentially disruptive states from within the EU are unlikely to muster a meaningful challenge to its enactment against the EU's will; as you've stated.
  • No, it is not the same thing as, "the noble savage" or "mystical indian" narratives to recognize the historical and cultural links between indigenous peoples and the land they live in relation to, which includes recognizing that your Euroimperialist understanding of "territory" doesn't apply exactly because it is constructed around colonialism, which is why you ended up advocating for colonialism by using it.

You learned about oppressed white people and thought that gave you a free card to be "right" about colonialism. I followed this final quote with a well-documented, historical Wampum, but I figure that doesn't matter to you because it isn't white people. You aren't well informed on any of this, and were clearly undeserving of my understanding. I also have no clue about the fixation on Zizek, I did not mention him, and could easily beat him in a boxing match if I so wished, his approval (even this fictionalized version) is irrelevant.

Like always, fascists can eat shit.

Northern Ireland has been colonised and I am talking about utilising the model for Israel-Palestine, not North America. You are strawmanning and you know it.

The use of whiteness was actually very intentional, it is a fluid category and if you noticed, I pointed out how Ireland was racialized despite the apparently inuitive fact that Irish people are white.

The Irish wasn't even considered white until recently, along with Southern Europeans, especially the Italians.

The fact that the Republic of Ireland would not leave the EU

Huh? You do realise that disagreement in country happens, right? By that logic, why don't your state leave the United States for literally having elected a fascist PDF file president who objectively fund the Israeli genocide?

Okay, so you did mean to promote fascism. I can tell you're a European by how you promote fascism and act entitled to do so with comfort; maybe they are all the same. You should read what I put before responding this way.

So are you saying the people of Northern Ireland are all fascists? Both Irish and Unionists? Are you going to tell both Israeli and Palestinian scholars who advocate for two state solution they are fascists? Are the black and white South Africans fascists for reconciling post-apartheid instead of kicking out the Europeans?

Aww..cry me a river..someone wants to win brownie points with all the sophistry and self-flagellation. Zizek would be cringing upon you. This is the wishy washy normie version of corpospeak. Where did I say I promote fascism? YOU are promoting fascism for only advocating violent interest groups rather than actually advocating for coexistence. YOU are the racist for exoticising non-white indigenous as if they could do no wrong and not seeing them as humans who are capable love, care, hate and uncaring. Again, you are trying to win brownie points but you ain't brown. You'd make a great cast for Get Out.
