Hey everyone this is James Lindsay you're listening to another exciting episode of

new discourses bullets where I give a short bullet point summary of a single

topic from woke Marxism that we need to understand so that we can defeat it.

And today it's settler colonialism.

And we have to talk about that not just because it's a part of woke Marxism and something

we should have been talking about obviously a little while ago as history has now indicated to us.

But because it's everywhere because we are now dealing with our failure to deal with settler colonialism as a woke concept already, not that we would have if

illegitimate aggressor state representing Western values injected into Arab lands in the Middle East.

That's a claim that makes some settler colonialist. Now there's a huge

which are mostly coming from South America, but some are coming from all over the world, and who knows who they are or what they are,

and they're settling in the United States illegally as border jumpers.

Aren't that, isn't that an immigrant invade? Isn't that settler colonialism? What about the people coming in from
