But notably, not settler colonialism. I can't think of why you'd bring it up as an example other than to signal your opinions about China. Because as I've repeatedly explained, is not doing settler Colonialism to Taiwan.
You're the one who seems to be bringing your opinion to this discussion, not me.
That's okay, you seem to me to be very much gate keeping and protective of settler colonialism as if it's something good.
You seem particularly protective when it comes to anyone suggesting China or Russia have interests or intentions in that direction.
But we don't have to agree just because we discussed it do we? You know, the Internet is too up tight and just constantly wants to debate to the death. I can't be bothered bro.
Lmfao what??? You're doing an awful lot of putting words in my mouth over this. Look, you can just take the L. Being wrong on the internet isn't the end of the world.
Patiently explaining a definition to you doesn't mean I endorse the thing I'm defining.
One country saying another country is their domain is a Colonial outlook despite all your "Well actually - the West Sahara is a better match for what I think" gatekeeping of "pure settler colonialism" or whatever the fuck you're doing.
Great dude, you have a strict and pure definition. Like I said, you're defending your preferred version of Colonialism as of it's something good, to be guarded.
You're a deeply stupid person
You're abusive so why would I give a fuck about your opinion?
