Cheers is cucked, Critical Role is cucked anarcho-Bidenist dreck, Fremen MMORPGs are cucked, survival horror is generally cucked, jihad is cucked. Masscult under anarcho-primitivism is inherently cucked. Sorry to spoil your 'fun'.

This history is why I get wary when settlers on the left dismiss Indigenous sovereignty and the prospect of Land Back (which admittedly is very poorly defined) as ethnonationalism because it is based in settler logics around ultimate control of land.

Blood and soil comes from German ideologies in the 19th century that pushed for a return to rural areas and an embrace of agrarianism, something the Nazis took up as part of the ‘philosophy’ of Lebensraum, an extremely settler colonial ideology if there ever was one.

The argument that Land Back is ethnonationalism in the “blood and soil” vein is especially shoddy when one looks at the origins of “blood and soil” and see that it actually has a lot in common with settler colonialism versus anything to do with Indigenous land relations.

settlers cannot be effective "leftists" until they are actually engaging with unlearning the settler ideology the settler bourgeoisie has forced into their minds and they have so benefited that they have chosen not to question it for fear of losing the privileges it brings

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

He's absolutely right. This needs to happen and we need to do better. It's a fact. So let's not deny, let's do better. If we can't help, at least we shouldn't harm. Not to mention there are Canadians Zionists fighting and killing in the genocide right now. It's all disgusting and it's wrong.
