I might misremember:

Frantz Fanon argued that Empire always comes back home to roost.

What is done abroad will be done at home.

In this case, though, what has been done abroad has already been done at home.

Just substitute "Andrew Jackson" for "Benjamin Netanyahu" and "First Natives" for "Palestinians".

Only difference is the quality of the weapons used.

@AnthonyJK @DrALJONES @Benaresh @SaanichGuy From the comfort of my home, I can look out across the river and see the reservation in which Canada's helot class make their home. They are only allowed to live there unimpeded until we discover something valuable on their land.

Occasionally we try to build golf courses over their cemeteries.

It's not great.

But boy is it a playbook for how our friends in the Levant envision the future.

@Benaresh @DrALJONES Aah, I know that term via MalcomX but have never heard of Fanon, will have to read more, he seems to have been hugely influential in such a short space of time.

@Benaresh @DrALJONES @SaanichGuy @PatrickoftheG The British government is slowly starving the British now so the theory holds weight
