The white saviour believes they are superior and uses their power to quote on quote "save" people of colour. The idea that European countries are more developed and less "savage" than non-european nations justifies violent colonization. Framing people of colour as less than and anamalistic was used explain slavary and the colonization of countries all over the world.
Countries such as America, Australia, Canada, Western Europe, Japan and New Zealand are seen as developed and first world countries. Theay are also part of the list of western countries that gain wealth by exploiding the wealth of other contries. India was colonized by British becasue of their large agriculture resources. The stolen land upon which Canada and the United States reside on contain large amounts of oil and minerals. Congo contains many minerals including the ones inside our electronic devices. The wealth in Congo benefits outside investors and countries.
What he speaks of is not simply colonization but a completion of the genocide. Trump speaks of the erasure of a people wrapped up in a cute AI ad.
Occupied Palestine also sits on large amounts of oil. In fact the Middle East is full of wealth and resources, which is a large reason for the presence of western countries and western oil companies in the area. So you might of heard about Trumps plans to colonize and take over Gaza in order to make a better "Trump Gaza". What he speaks of is not simply colonization but a completion of the genocide. Trumps speaks of the erasure of a people wrapped up in a cute AI add. He is using the same ideology that has been used since before the colonization of the United States.
For more than a year they have been living in an intensified genocide and through it all they have remained faithful as well as loyal to their land and people.
The Indigenous people in Gaza have been living under occupation for the past 76 years. For more than a year they have been living in an intensified genocide and through it all they have remained faithful as well as loyal to their land and people. The lies about Arabs and Muslims are used to justify violence agaisnt them but the people witll not be fooled. People all over the world stand with the palestinians and have been educating themselves. This contrasts the steryotypes of Arabs as animalistic and violent, these steryotypes are created to justify the white saviour complex and the colonization by people who have no buisness causing comflict in the Middle East.
