You cannot say that you like Pocahontas. The genocide of my people is turned into a cartoon musical with a singing raccoon? I mean, think about it, dawg, the real story of Pocahontas is about a bunch of white boys who come to my land, bribe the corrupt indian chief, kill off all the warriors and fuck the indian princess silly.
does this have a source?
It’s from an HBO miniseries about the Iraq War called Generation Kill
the night porter, the black parade, the boy in the striped pajamas is the same premise but not romance…so yes they absolutely would.
using other people…using the genocide of other people, as a retorical device is kind of a shitty thing to do anyway. But also the whole ‘you wouldn’t do this to [other opressed group]’ tends to weaken your position cause well…you’re usually wrong and they would and you’re giving them too much credit to think they wouldn’t. Which is a shame when your basic position is good like here.
mind you…on this particular issue saying this while you’re invading someone elses country also weakens your position.
(while we’re at it we can stop pretending that the shoah wasn’t racialised violence just like all previous genocides and persecutions of jewish people and the ones that continue today. Wherever you stand on whether (light skinned) jews are white today -and if you aren’t jewish you can stay the fuck out of that one- there were no white jews in the third reich)
