They don't. The genocide and theft of land of their indigenous populations mostly happened less than 150 years ago. That land should be returned to indigenous sovereignty.

How that decolonization should proceed is a question not for the colonizers or their descendents to answer, but the indigenous tribes themselves.

Does anyone have the full video link, that shows the entire interaction? Youtube keeps censoring / removing it.

EDIT: Finally found it! Not on youtube of course. The CNN one cuts off all the important parts.

Youtube keeps removing the full video, every link I used to have of it is gone.

That one cuts off right before the interesting part. When he keeps climbing up and down the tank, having a conversation with the crew, tries to stop it a 2nd time, and then gets rushed off by bystanders without incident.

I'm considering locking / removing this thread, because of the massive number of orientalist comments and articles being posted. Redditors have no idea how racist they're being right now, its completely unnacceptable.

Do you realize what a racist bubble you're in, that you think people in the PRC are locked up for saying something about the June 4th incident?

List of US atrocities.

dessalines , vor einem Monat

It's hard to quantify, but the US instigated or had a hand in causing most of the largest mass-killing events of the twentieth century.

To give just a single example, the CIA was the main driver behind the anti-communist massacres in Indonesia in 1965. 500k-1M people killed.

Or operation Condor, another anti-communist CIA-led program in several latin american countries: about 60-80k people killed, and 400k imprisoned.

A larger list of US atrocities is here.

Not just South america, but generally most countries south of the equator, outside the imperial core, who are making most of the products for the world while being paid miniscule wages.

Classic orientalist moment, can't even get the country right when the president is right there in the picture.

I think the chat bots are, but the upvote bots sure know how to push the most rage-inducing and high-engagement posts to the top. Twitter, youtube, and reddit are very good at that now.

A deluge of articles that confirms the audience's unexamined orientalism, and makes them feel superior.

"I'm as left as they come! I also agree with US foreign policy, and think that every country on the official US sanctions and foreign adversary list needs to be overthrown."

Its a good idea to have communities moderated by local users, in case there are any issues with federation or reports federating.
