Democracy does not work with violence.

Tell that to every civil rights leader martyred by your so-called 'democracy' you comfortable-assed cracker.

Eh, they are Danish. Settler is the wrong term for them if you are trying to make out a continuity from classical colonialism to neo colonialism, as Denmark did not really have colonies in the classical sense (with one minor notable exception and the domination of Norway through its personal union for 450 years).

Denmark's history as a thriving social democracy in the modern era also makes it less of a perpetrator of the violence spread by modern bourgeoisie democracies than what your comment implies, in my opinion.

Lumping every Western nation together into some imperial core makes it harder to study the material conditions of neo colonialism.

As an example of the point I am trying to make of the importance of studying the material conditions of the global north as well: Denmark-Norway was the first European country to abolish the transatlantic slave trade. The reason for it is obvious, they did not really have colonies to speak of on their own.

Like I give the first, second, or third fuck? Where they're from doesn't change my people's history, or that cracker's place within it. I genuinely see the vast majority of you euros the same, because where they're from doesn't change the fact that they still talk the exact same way the actual settlers that still devil my people do.

That, "oh, this isn't like us", "oh, you need to condemn this violence even though violence is our profit", "oh, this isn't how politics works" and all that other happy cracker horseshit; this tells me white supremacy and habitus has already infected the Nordics-- which were never friends to the Black nation, regardless of who ended their trade in flesh when.
