    There are multiple forms of colonialism. The term settler colonialism’ is relatively new.

    Settler colonialism is a logic and structure of displacement by settlers, using colonial rule, over an environment for replacing it and its indigenous peoples with settlements and the society of the settlers.

    Practically every example you will find is Europeans getting on a boat and killing natives. The most famous example is Manifest Destiny also known as America.

    The Muslims conquered land and replaced its government, they did not murder and replace their entire population. This is why countries like Somalia are filled with black people who are Muslims and not Arabs.

    Mohamed Salah has Egyptian ancestry. He is not a random Arab Muslim claiming that Egypt was Arab.

    Settler colonization and replacing everything with ‘superior white people’ is a rather modern European tradion










  • Russian gas was a cheap way for Germany to produce. The short term economic effects were more important to Merkels electability than any long term plans.

    When it comes to gas, Russia never shut off the tap. Instead it was America who blew up the Nordstream energy supply to garner support for a wider war. But now China is producing on cheap Russian gas

    At least Germany appears to heavily invest in green energy since Norstream blew up. Bless the sun for shining everywhere.
