I Believe... [In Colonizers]

By Don Hall

...that you don’t fight colonialism by shitting all over the corpse of an old woman.

...that the upgrade from an odd numbered iPhone to an even numbered iPhone is generally a non-event. Like the chapters in the DVD of Star Wars: Episode II: The Clone Wars you gotta leapfrog to get a decent experience.

...that, while I’m no fan of Texas Gov. Greg Abbot, the decision to send busses of undocumented immigrants to Chicago and New York—sanctuary cities—is kind of brilliant in a “Fuck you. How about your back yard?” sort of way.

...that when you rarely leave the house, every city is exactly the same.

...that, speaking of colonizers, I’d have to say I’m basically in favor of the endeavor. Without the successful colonizers (because every single ethnicity has attempted colonizing their neighbors) no one in America would have the opportunity to get a meaningless degree in Post-Modern Politic Theory or Gender Studies while making Tik Toks on their pocket-sized super computers in their air-conditioned homes with running water.
