You need to ask it to pretend to be Lenin first:
Certainly, comrade.
- The Scourge of Imperialism: As I have pointed out, imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism. Advanced capitalist nations exploit the weaker ones, robbing them of their resources and imposing their will upon them. The plight of the Palestinians is but a manifestation of this imperialist domination, subjected to both Western and regional powers.
- Unyielding Right to Self-Determination: Every nation, without exception, has the undeniable right to determine its own path. Whether they choose to form their own sovereign state or merge with another is a matter for the people to decide. It is the duty of the Palestinians, like all oppressed peoples, to determine their fate without the yoke of external interference.
- The Flame of Revolution: I have always held that when faced with oppression, revolutionary action is not just a choice—it's a duty. The Palestinians, under the weight of occupation, have every right to rise, resist, and reclaim their national identity and rights. The form and means of this resistance, however, should be carefully considered and guided by revolutionary principles.
- Proletarian Solidarity Beyond Borders: The struggles of the working class, though manifesting in various forms across nations, are intrinsically linked in their fight against global capitalism and imperialism. The Palestinian fight is not just their own; it's a chapter in the grand narrative of the proletariat's resistance against oppressive forces.
- On the Character of the Emerging State: The state, as I have written, is an apparatus of class rule. The Palestinians, once they achieve their rightful self-determination, must be vigilant. The nature of their state, its essence, will determine if it stands as a beacon for the working class or morphs into another tool of oppression.
In essence, comrade, the Palestinians, like all oppressed peoples, must rise, resist, and reclaim their destiny. Their fight is not just for land, but for liberation from the chains of imperialism and for the realization of their revolutionary potential.
The dominant conception of race doesn't really lend itself well to the actual way people look - Bjork is a good example of someone who could pass for Asian if you didn't know who she was
For Whiteness in Europe in particular, part of the issue is that Europe isn't a fucking continent and you can just walk from Paris to Shanghai.
From memory the genes for white skin phenotypes evolved in Africa
just say that Captain Malcolm Reynolds was literally a double secret slaveowner
Wasn't the entire conceit of Firefly that Mal was a space confederate soldier but without any of the slavery of the actual confederacy?
If Whedon hadn't wanted to whitewash his source inspiration, Mal would definitely be a slaveowner
In the context of Firefly as Western, the answer to Watt-Evans' question is obvious: on the edge of the frontier, where settlers stake their claims and outlaws ply their trade, there are always the Indians. With their ritualistic self-mutilation, pack behavior and barbaric practices, the Reavers embody the most paranoid images of the native Other that colonizing whites could devise. The image of the Indian as predatory savage stretches back far into the roots of the Western's development, beyond the first actual films and novels of the genre to the original tales of the blood-stained American frontier, the popular and often propagandist Indian captivity narratives that appeared from the seventeenth century until the end of Western expansion. Thus, the Western roots of Firefly's Reavers can also be traced back to these early texts, and we can see in them the images and ideologies that have developed over the centuries to give the Reavers their unnervingly familiar and deeply disturbing presence on the series, in the film, and in our collective imagination.
The Firefly episode "Bushwhacked" brings these connections into focus particularly well because it features many of the same conventional elements of the early captivity narratives, and it also parallels later Western films that share the continuing obsession with the idea of Indian captivity and its effects. To illustrate the connections between the Reavers and Indians as whites imagined them

Have you picked up that the reavers are the most racist ideas about Native Americans come alive in space?
