“Civilized” is this context is a dog whistle for white. Anti-Arab and anti-indigenous beliefs are taking over both.
A few nights ago, I watched a classic film called "The Battle for Algiers". The movie explored the French occupation of Algeria during the independence movement of the late 50s/early 60s.
And let me tell you, "civilized" France was doing some curiously unciviled shit by the end.
I love the Battle of Điện Biên Phủ. Don’t know if there’s a movie of it.
“These stupid primitives that we’ve denied sovereignty and exploited couldn’t possibly beat us with anti aircraft weapons!”
Fuck all colonizers. Fuck the U.S. for getting involved after the Vietnamese thoroughly said, “no, we want to rule ourselves.”
