Some folks are just discovering what oppression feels like.

Not so nice on this end of the rope, is it?

Meme from showing two men with nooses around their necks. The top caption reads: “WHITE PEOPLE: THE GOVERNMENT IS OPPRESSING ME AND TAKING AWAY MY RIGHTS! 😡” The bottom caption, showing the second man smirking, reads: “INDIGENOUS PEOPLE: FIRST TIME? 😅” It highlights the irony of settler complaints about oppression compared to centuries of systemic harm faced by Indigenous peoples.

Canadians don’t watch America because we’re jealous.
We’re just keeping an eye on the world’s most heavily armed reality shit-show.

Colonialism wasn’t a “discovery”. It was a home invasion.

Colonizers: commit genocide
Also colonizers: “But it’s okay, God told us to.”

Divine permission for theft and genocide. And they still use religion today as they commit atrocities against brown people.
Nothing worse than a religious racist.
