   My opinion is, you don't ever have to be outraged by an oppressed group's acts of violence, because you should already be outraged at the existing and continuing violence being done against them, and that arguing for the side of the larger militarized occupying force - even if your convictions are pure - isn't helping the folks who're oppressed as much as you think it might be.

   Like, maybe wait a little while before adding fuel to a flame, especially if you're gonna start saying wild shit that sounds a lot like "if colonization happened long enough ago it isn't my responsibility".

     @hakan_geijer Honestly I'm confused, I can't figure out what I said that pissed you off.

     @hakan_geijer For me, if I knew a people were displaced, bombed, assassinated, imprisoned, restricted economically, socially, and politically, I would simply not waste any of my time critiquing their methods when I could criticizing the oppressive state that at every move has put the oppressed into an impossible position, but you do you and treat all violence as equal, no matter who does it or when.
