image comparing two cars. a person calls the first car brilliant captioned [no-one is illegal on stolen land]
in the second picture he points to the other car and says “but I like this this” captioned [no-one is illegal]
Not comparable. „No one is illegal on stolen land“ implies that the measures taken in the US could be justified if it wasn’t a colony. „No one is illegal“ is a widespread pro-immigrant motto in Europe.
„Black lives matter“ didn’t include anything to make the movement region-specific.
I don’t agree, the context of where it’s said is important. Europe isn’t a colony and so that’s fine, but “no one is illegal” in the USA implies that colonizers are fine.
even then, the crime is the colonization, the theft, not the people being there
By that measure, “no one is illegal on stolen land” implies that the colonizers aren’t illegal on the land that they stole.
That also applies to “no one is illegal”
