    Alright got it. So for example were the Mayan states part of the UN? What kind of state were they organized in? What about people colonized by the Mayans?

    So are established cities and locations and being nomadic without having a state designated by the UN enough for being protected against colonization?

      I have no idea what you are trying to get at, but I have repeatedly said colonizing is wrong and countries can stop doing wrong things without needing to stop existing so if that isn’t clear enough I don’t know what to tell you.

        Yeah I’m just really confused by how you’re at the same time able to oppose colonialism as a concept but also not willing to acknowledge that whatever happened to other people is happening in the exact same way to Palestinians. Explicitly Palestinians being colonized by the Zionists. If it was wrong in Africa, in the Americas, in Australia, it’s wrong in Palestine too.

        Colonies can never exist without oppression, dispossession and dehumanization of the colonized, and consequently a feeling of superiority, otherwise the whole thing won’t work.

        It doesn’t matter at all that Israel is a Jewish state. It is a settler colonial state and settler colonial states should not exist per se.

          You are confused because you keep ignoring my statements that the same thing is happening to Palestinians, apparently because I don’t agree that the solution is wiping a country off a map.

          Instead, they should stop being a colonial state which was the solution to all of the other colonial states.
