‘He sounds like another colonizer’: Greenlander on JD Vance's visit
| Hanomansing Tonight

U.S. Vice-President JD Vance was in Greenland on Friday, slamming Denmark for not doing a good job in keeping its semi-autonomous territory safe. But as Greenland content creator Qupanuk Olsen explains, many Greenlanders did not roll out the red carpet for Vance.

One of many earlier #British #ColonialCrimes in #SouthEastAsia. The #BriggsPlan in #Malaysia.

The Nazi regime during WWII forever gave the term #ConcentrationCamp a name symbolic of #atrocity, so when British #colonizers once again visited the idea of #ForcedRelocation of #IndigenousPeoples to isolate them they needed another name for the enclaves. They came up with #NewVillages. The New Villages were created under the Briggs Plan, which was developed to combat the communist insurgency in #Malaya during the 1950 #MalayanEmergency. The plan was prepared by Sir Harold Briggs, a British General who was the Director of Operations in Malaya.

#Britain lost the Malayan Peninsula and their fortress at Singapore to the Japanese during WWII and reoccupied their former dominion after the fall of Japan. Among the many difficulties the British encountered was the presence of roughly a half-million #Chinese in rural Malaya, most working as farmers working small plots of land for their own sustenance on land they did not own or lease. The British administration regarded these Chinese as squatters and found them a problem because they were physically distant from the machinery of British authority, which most of the Malayan population was not happy to see return to their country.

When the Malay #CommunistParty received support from armed #guerrillas from Malaya and #China, the British, intent on restoring #Imperial rule to the peninsula, looked with additional distrust upon these rural Chinese. While some of the Chinese were certainly sympathetic to the communists, most were indifferent. The British concern was that the communist #insurgents would receive support from the squatters in the form of food, neglecting the fact that the majority of the Chinese squatters were barely able to grow enough to support themselves. The Briggs plan required the forced relocation of the Chinese.

The New Villages isolated the Chinese, and they were guarded by Malayan police and British Military Police and some troops. The Chinese could not leave the villages except under escort and nobody was allowed in without the permission of the guards, making them effectively prisons. The villages were built with running water and electricity, amenities absent from most Malayan villages, and health care and some educational facilities were provided. This caused resentment towards the British from the Malay outside the villages, who didn’t receive the same amenities, and the Chinese, who resented the forced relocation settlement.

Although the New Villages, of which 450 were built, were an improvement over the forced detention camps of the Boer War, and death rates in the villages were roughly the same as for the rest of the country, there were racially motivated #CollectivePunishments directed towards the Chinese population in the villages. #Deportation without trial by the administration was a common punishment for the Chinese. Law within the villages was the decision of the British. Many of the villages are still standing and in recent years have been restored to serve as tourist destinations by the Malaysian government with support from China.

Continued thread

I've told 6 different #Canadian cop detachments that the reason almost all citizens hate them is due to their ongoing #SystematicRacism, zero protection for whistle-blowers, giving raises to worst of the worst police brass, not challenging their corrupt union leaders & "just following orders" like fucking Hitler SS.

Don't defend fucking institutionalized cowards - with badges/guns - over defending innocent citizens killed/maimed by those same fucking cops/corporate mercenaries you tried to defend.

For those who care about 'good cops' - why the fuck are you not fighting, tooth n nail, for genuine public accountability & protections for the very few brave enough to be #police #WhistleBlowers?!?!?

Why aren't more BC/Canadian citizens angry as heck over the fact our governments gave BILLIONS to RCMP/RCMP CIRG to break the law & assault activists & protect industry over humanity? Because of fucking corporate lobbyists powers. MONEY & POWER - #Colonizers bent on capitalism - never really change their selfish & inhumane priorities/policies unless forced to.

History republicans don't want you to learn - the christian colonizers were the bad guys, class. Not the heroes.

Part of #BCRCMP #CIRG unit. #RCMP are taxpayers/state funded, #DomesticTerrorists.
This corporate mercenaries unit only exists in #BritishColumbia & they're violent towards environmental & Indigenous activists. This unit was created solely to protect interests of private ecocidal corporations & they do not protect citizens. The unit should be abolished.

Please note: All of these RCMP thugs are wearing the #ThinBlueLine patch AND one of the bigot #colonizers had the nerve to wear a #MoosehidePin too 😤💩 None wore any identification badges & refused to provide their badge numbers when asked - which is illegal in BC, when they voluntarily interact with any citizen. A few of them(not in these photos) actually had put black tape over their identification badges too.

2021, from the frontlines.

"...the war to liberate Palestine and the region from #Zionism will be no less brutal on the people of the region than the wars to liberate Algeria, Vietnam, South Africa... so many other places targeted by the Euro-American #empire.

After all the occupiers and #colonizers are the same countries, and the genocidal hatred their ruling classes bear towards the people whose land and rights they seek to usurp..."

The Electronic Intifada · Hasan Nasrallah died on the road to liberate PalestineIsrael's shock and awe in Lebanon will not end the resistance to Zionism.

Enlightenment dies when authoritarianism rears it's ugly head, and that's by design. You can't have stupid throngs of submissive and yet violent masses without #antiintellectualism .

#Polish people talk about how the #nazi occupation would persecute their intellectuals, to subvert the Polish expert class. That's also how the #colonizers and #slavers destroyed #,Africa.

They don't come for the #guns first, they come for the experts, the #literature and #acedemia
