can i verbalise a selfish thought for a moment. dont read the tags if thatll bother you or anything

#what with all this talk of colonisation and whose land what is it does make me wonder about what the bigger voices in these convos would #have to say about my country. like im genuinely curious bc idk how to categorise us at all. context bc i dont expect anyone to know: #the indigenous people of the land i live on were the arawaks & lucayans. however when this land was first colonised they were all genocided #and who are now known as 'bahamians' were brought over on ships. and then somehow we went from the spanish to the english who colonised us #as well. now my worry is purely hypothetical bc we are an independent and sovereign state right so there's no 'threat' #but would we be considered 'indigenous' ? i can't think we would?? #but maybe my issue is that i'm looking at this philosophically rather than politically. cause politically we probably would #but while the us-israel-colonisation convo is a political one the stances are philosophical so ?? #like (again. hypothetically) if the same thing were to happen here ig i just wonder how we would be dealt with #and then the land ownership convo as well baffles me & it has for a while. since at least 2020 when the whole 'cottagecore is bad' convo #took place with the arguments that the aesthetic romanticised stolen land and i wondered even then like ? are we in the same position?? #is the land still considered stolen if the people inhabiting it were displaced themselves?? and didn't steal it?? #and moreover if the people it was stolen from no longer exist to take it back?? man idk #im stunningly bad at articulating my own thoughts so if this was a mess im sorry and thanks for making it this far #and also pls tell me if this comes off in the same light as americans making this about their election. i really dont want it to. im just #thinking. i guess idk #stop talking abbie
