@cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml Pinging both of you as a more general reply:
I think you both make good points.
I will say, maybe the analogy to being born rich wasn't quite suitable. But I'm trying to get past the blindness to the settler contradiction that can come with it and look at it as a matter of responsibility. Not for the purposes of self-flagellation or being owed some kind of harm for it, but more in the connotation of duty to humanity and liberation. It seems to me that when the subject gets brought up in the context of regional liberation, it is often brought up as an afterthought, like, "We'll liberate from those capitalists... and also respect indigenous sovereignty." I'm unconvinced that due attention is being paid to the importance of the second part, but I'm also not sure to what extent liberation movements are even talking to indigenous nations in the first place about the subject. Perhaps they are and the communication on it is strategic. I don't know for sure.
