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.
stfu, ziq.
