Colonialism. The most modern examples being Israel-Palestine, China-Taiwan, and Russia-Ukraine.
The west hasn't culturally processed or accepted a meaningful understanding of it's own Colonial past, right wing parties particularly reject doing so - calling attempts to do so woke, weak, or unpatriotic.
So of course we're not going to fully absorbe or react to other countries doing their own versions of it.
The IDF should also go west, and when they get to the sea they should keep going, no boats, just feed the fishes
Yk its quite ironic and funny in a macaber way that both zionism and national socialism were the ideas of austrians.
But here the funfact of the day: Former Emperor Otto I. Of Habsburg, Emperor and king of Austria-Hungary, was member of the EU parliament and until his death one of the biggest supporters for EU federalization and trans-national unity
He was "only" crown prince, not emperor. His father, Karl I., was the last emperor.
I feel like this is unintentionally excusing what Israel is doing.
And yet its still an accurate description of how grand narratives about destiny and rightful ownership are used to justify the brutal killings of others.
Do not confuse descriptivism for prescriptivism.
It’s only excusing it if you support manifest destiny.
