Perfectly fine by me if anyone doesn't want to identify as American. But plenty of people do, and who are you to tell them they aren't?
How do you square this with the fact that the US is a settler-colony that must be dismantled? With the dismantlement of the US, they wouldn't be Americans because there wouldn't be an America to identify as.
That is, unfortunately, a very distant prospect and doesn't really have any bearing on what I'm talking about
I am simply asking a question. You are free to answer it or ignore it. How do you square people self-identifying as Americans with the fact that the US is a settler-colony that must be dismantled?
Those are two things that are already currently true, so I really don't see how they need to be squared
Because people who self-identify as X are not going to do anything that would destroy X because that would destroy their sense of identity. If anything, they will fight hard to preserve X even if X ought to be destroyed.
When I talk about destroying America, it's usually about the unspeakable cruelty not about the food
Who said anything about food? We haven't been talking about food for the past 8+ comments.
