White socialists say they read Marx— but as soon as indigenous peoples note that we have to collectively care for the land that sustains us— they be like: indigenous peoples want an “ethnostate” to “force their culture on us,” and that can only be done via “re-education camps” 😐
If Marx understood in the 1800s that he needed to pay attention to what the agriculturalists was saying about soil depletion— since we depend on the Earth to literally survive— y’all should be able to put 2 and 2 together.

Y’all just can’t because y’all racist + believe that
non-white people will/want to be as vindictive as y’all are (/were)
Can’t believe: we need to protect the earth that sustains all life is now “going too far” for “socialists” 🤦🏾‍♀️

Or that implying such means that you “don’t really want to get rid of capitalism” 😐🤯

This is why I be ignoring discussions on twitter
What I’m responding to— since of course the white “I’ve never seen any leftist say this” leftists are going to comment: https://twitter.com/neoduen/status/1279987163317370880?s=21 https://twitter.com/neoduen/status/1279987163317370880
And also, a comment thread on that thread, since I also roll my eyes at the fact that white leftists high key be wanting to say call indigenous peoples “primitive” and “backwards”— but that’s obvi coded so they use words like “modern” and “technology”

Adding to this this thread since the white leftists who don’t know what land back actually means but feel a strong negative settler reaction to it, then pretend that this argument invalidates indigenous land back claims: https://twitter.com/louis_allday/status/1280135899934871552?s=21 https://twitter.com/louis_allday/status/1280135899934871552
It’s also aggravating since these same people will probably also pretend that they truly believe in Palestinian liberation.

Settler logics are transnational
— and must be to maintain themselves— so I’m not suprised that racist “leftists” push this discourse
to invalidate indigenous land back claims in the Americas.

I’d be lying if I said that it doesn’t irk me that people with “BLM” and/or “Free Palestine” in their bios, headers, etc. equating the two didn’t get on my nerves

💆🏾‍♀️ but y’all annoyed me enough for the day
