    “Acknowledge and move on” is an extremely bad take if you know the facts about the genocide of American Indians (and Canadian First Nations) and how it is essentially ongoing in 2026. “Dark past” is not an accurate view of the situation. It is also unique to being a settler-colonial project, not something that is common to all countries.

    It leads to an extremely unstable state as we can see from the three most recent presidential elections. The state wants to colonize itself because it ran out of other countries to exploit. That’s what fascism is (ice raids and shit being a prominent symptom).
