changed my mind. ziq's settler buddy (and former partner in crime over at raddle, tequila wolf) was basically pulling the same shit with alts that ziq was pulling on radde, but it was even worse. meaning they were not only using dozens of alts on raddle, but also in other online leftist spaces, including those created for formerly colonized people. What this means is that tequila wolf is the kind of settler who continues being and behaving like a colonizer, and should be dealt with as such.

so ZIQ, just so its clear for you


the problem with your anarchomissionary settler buddy isn't that they were born a settler, it's that they relate to being a settler by operating like a colonizer. that's the difference between someone like masquenox and the pos you continue to pine for and defend. what's super hilarious about you throwing pity parties for them is that your settler bud was the first to throw you under the bus when you got caught with hundreds of alts on raddle. they forced you to "come clean" and take public accountability, feigning horror, and their own ignorance even as they had literally watched you AND cheered you on as you did the EXACT same thing on the anarchist subs on reddit. but that's not all


the absolute riot, the scandal, and the best fucking part is that when you were outed on raddle they pretended to be SO much better than you, so upstanding, when in actuality they were doing the exact same shit the whole fucking time. what a sad little opportunistic fuck your settler bud is. almost as sad as you. LOL.

If you paid any attention you'd see I battled with them constantly, including for throwing me under the bus in that moment and encouraging me to destroy my reputation, while they kept using all their alts and never admitting to it, so you're not telling me something I didn't already voice years ago, when it was actually relevant.

Likewise, I didn't know they were a settler for years, assumed they were black because of their posting activity and only found out when they dramatically and publicly scolded me for wrongly identifying them as a person of colour on reddit. So there is certainly a grain of truth to your idea that they have a colonising mindset since I and many others I've spoken to got the impression they were indigenous, but I don't think it's conscious, I think it's a mindset all settlers have, exacerbated by a healthy security-culture paranoia. The mindset is certainly far stronger in your new friend who threw a public tantrum when I called white South Africans colonizers and continues to obsessively hate me for it today. You befriending that person says so much about you.

Despite my many problems with TW over the years, which includes the infamous incident on raddle where they used an alt to callously denigrate someone I care deeply about while she was talking about being raped, I'm still capable of having empathy for them while witnessing their mental health collapse in the face of a perpetual intimidation campaign by a scorned lover turned obsessive stalker. I'm not blind to their many flaws, and they often get under my skin, but they are clearly the victim in this. There is no justification for your actions, now years after the end of your relationship, especially when you consider the student-teacher relationship that you unethically violated.

It's tragic that you take such pleasure in inflicting pain on me for my tenuous association with them and it's clear you won't stop until we both disappear from the internet, so I'll just give you what you want.
