    ethnic and cultural background is so blended and so remixed that at any given moment they may not have any deeply rooted grounding in what the cultural origins of something they’re doing is

    “Human” also works.

    These cultures mixed together, brought their own tales of escaping genocide

    “Survivors.” I prefer “comrades.”

    isn’t quite like anything else anywhere on earth, though at the same time,

    During the Roman Empire, we would be labeled as “peons.” “Slaves” even. But both these terms were also Authoritarian labels we choose to forgo. We decided then “companion, ally, friend” were better terms to label our struggle against oppressors. The same is true now. Many internationally see «American» as «Nazi», for good reason. Most of us wish that empire to die. So diasporadic colonized victims of American imperialism should label themselves anti colonist. «Luddites» was that term, so was «Redneck». I hope you see why many of us do not want to be associated with the genocides of «America».

    The Cherokee called North America “Turtle Island” long before European settlers arrived on it. However, they have no name for a Pan-Turtle-Islander experience, especially because this leaves out South America as they have no name for that continent. So they call the people of these two continents “American”

    Then you already found your new name: «Turtle Island Moss» Because you accidentally landed against your true habitats’ wishes home. Moss can adapt anywhere, but in Turtle Island, you found a home.

    Fuck every hierarchy

    ✊🏿

    president negotiated a trade agreement that allowed me to do so by the coincidence of me being born in a building where doctors used to torture Cherokee children

    Precisely one of the reasons anarchists hate the term «American.» You’re not the American president, but some moss that managed to flourish in tortured land. His predatory behavior is not your doing, but one he must reperate for.

    We’ve interacted in a few threads. I’ve enjoyed our interactions

    I fail to recall them. Either way, I hope to continue interacting, esp. against our empires.

    “All Americans admitted they were terrorists”

    By the continued bipartisan populist global genocides, both Dems&Reps have admitted to support what Zionists are committing. If the so called diasporadic Pan-Americans had held these populists accountable, we wouldn’t be headed in this mass extinction event. I am, like @Sineljora@sh.itjust.works, blaming it on the populists that empower them. They label themselves as Americans, desiring the continued American “dream.” The unrepentant Afghan war. The subjugation of Tawantinsuyu, the demand to render Kalaallit Nunaat theirs, etc. etc… We justifiably despise the term “American” because all they do is terrorize, abroad, and now domestically. The chickens have come to roost.
