Speaking as a person of Latino heritage, with a bit of Indigenous blood, I'd rather limit civilian casualties to a minimum. I agree with your overall sentiment, that civilians aren't innocent in settler-colonial projects, and are part of the problem, and play an unfortunate part in colonialist violence against oppressed peoples, and I wouldn't tell oppressed peoples how to wage armed resistance if they are achieving good results.
I'm just saying that as much as I hate many bourgeois Amerikkkrakers, I wouldn't want them to be killed unless absolutely necessary. Though the fog of conflict often breeds confusion and tragedy.
I agree with this. I'm not advocating killing anyone without reason. I was just making the general point about their not really being innocence in settler colonial projects
Thank you, I'm glad you agree. I understand/hope that most of us are just meme-ing when we say that crakkkers aren't innocent, which while very true, sometimes I get a little uncomfortable that some people might use this as an excuse to attack or shoot random white people for no reason and claim its colonial resistance.
