minus-squareSolNinelinkfedilinkEnglish4•9 months agoExcellent comment, I frequently bring this concept to others attention when the term “colonizer” is used. Arbitrary and selective use of the term to fit a specific narrative detracts from current day realities. Somehow people seem to have forgotten that times of peace and respect for manmade borders and laws of sovereign nations are not the norm for history.
