Ask Lemmy

So this is a topic being talked about more in the wake of Palestine, but even the recent protest in LA. People wonder why they waved Mexican flags because that land used to be Mexico and they want to return to it.

I think we will see this turn into a liberation struggle.

BIPOC resistance has been growing a ton in America with Native Americans expressing more interest in armed struggle to drive settlers from their land. Remember white people even being in America is against the UN charter and native Americans have the right to demand their land back

Even in Europe the Sami people are the rightful indigenous people of Europe and they to are struggling with the governments of Germany,Norway and Sweden over things like infrastructure intruding on their grazing land. So what do you support in terms of tactics and targets ? I will list some groups and their tactics and ask what you support.

This raises an honest and difficult question: what forms of resistance are morally or strategically supportable in these struggles? Different movements have taken different paths:

ANC (South Africa) Emphasized avoiding civilian harm, focused on sabotage of state infrastructure.

FLN (Algeria) Primarily attacked colonial structures and security forces, but some attacks affected civilians.

ZANU/ZAPU (Zimbabwe) More indiscriminate, targeting white settlers broadly.

Where do you personally draw the line when it comes to resistance in a settler colonial state like the U.S.? What tactics do you believe are justified, and against what kinds of targets symbolic, institutional, or broader?”
