Occasionally I run Americans saying into " #America was a colony too" in way as if that gives them some form solidarity with colonized around the world?

It's so ignorant on so many levels. Moreover, For #NativeAmericans, the transition from " #British" to "American" subjects was, arguably worse and led to a even more horrific new phase in #genocidal #colonialism, as one of the drivers of the #American revolution was a desire to further expand and colonize the #west.
