Like a story can literally beat someone over the head with a theme or moral and people somehow come to the opposite conclusion?

It’s like “Tyler Durden is so manly and cool” except every bit of media feels like it’s misinterpreted like that now.

      I get what you’re saying, but babies can’t help where they are born. It’s unfathomable that a baby born doesn’t have the right to exist anywhere.

        Sorry, you don’t get a stolen house just because you were born in it post-theft.

        You’re clearly arguing for Nazi and Zionist settler colonialism, so long as the parents have a kid once they’ve massacred the original owners, if your universal principle is “babies (and by implication all children of settlers, even as adults/former babies) get to remain as an immovable force while the native population sucks it up”

          In my country, a child is born a citizen even if the parents are criminals and here with no visa. But no, for fuck sake would everyone stop calling me a Nazi. I can’t stand Israel right now and everyone goes straight to virtue signaling and calling people Nazis. Its so frustrating.

            Oh, are you not proposing exactly what I’m laying out? You don’t exactly have a concrete plan for decolonization and restitution. All you can do is whine about former children and not understand how settler colonialism is bad
