Oh they're colonists

That's the narrative of equivalency.

Language is a tool for a reason because it shapes thought as often as thought shapes it.

North America was filled with scattered tribes of earlier settlers for thousands of years - they lived at the mercy of their environment and warred violently among themselves - just like humans have always done throughout their history.

Static, often brutish, stone age level existence.

The distinction is something we refer today as Western Civilization - such distinctions are targeted for destruction because an argument is put forward that Western Civilization has no claim to prominence or pride and that any backward society is equal and worth preserving. The uncomfortable question then arises: At what price? If extinction is the cost, should we be expected to pay it?

Ultimately, any civilization that can not defend itself, deserves to fail.

Stefan Molyneux:

“Without an understanding and appreciation of the culture we seek to preserve and protect, the defense of Western civilization is fundamentally futile; a culture that believes in nothing cannot defend itself, because it has nothing to defend. The past not only still has something to tell us, but it also has something that it must tell us.

Colonial projects are always funded by some big money interest, be it a king or corporation, and it's no different with these "colonists".
