        Considering you spelled “colonizer” with an ‘s’, you are really not doing yourself any favors

          Its called “English (traditional)” as opposed to the yanks who use “English (simplified)”. Remind me again what you Americans did to your native population? Three words pot kettle black.

            and wow promoting that unhinged naming scheme for US/UK English, really another incredible echelon of coloniser-brain

            “what […] Americans did to [their] native population” you mean continuing the genocide that the British colonists enthusiastically started?

            Imagine asking a Black guy what crackers did to the natives. Exactly what they did are still doing to us, peckerwood.

              Imagine assuming I’m part of the British minority who did the colonising and not the majority who got colonised and also learned proper English. I mean I’m neither so ur point is even more idiotic.

                Nah I assumed you were an aussie from “munted” and the s you keep putting in colonizer; hence “convict settler”. Not like either one deserves enough respect to be demarcated distinct from one another, but that’s a whole different kettle of catfish.

                  20-25% of current Aussies have convict ancestors and 40-45% have coloniser ancestors. I’m not even going to engage in ur stupidity of blaming the people of the present for shit that happened over 100years ago.

                    Imagine splitting the difference when convicts were still used for settler-colonialism, yawn. Are you still going, peck?
