You can't decolonize something that wasn't colonized.

Idky this seems so hard to get, like Christianity, communism, capitalism, academia, all of these took part in colonizing, they aren't colonized, so they can't be "de"colonized. They are colonization.

They can be made less shitty, but that's not the same thing.

If you come into my apartment and throw blue paint all over the place, I can't "depaint" the paint.

If you track mud on my floor, I can't "demud" the dirt, I can find uses for it, such as my house plants, but I can't dedirty that used to dirty.

Decolonization is a very specific process that takes us forward by recognizing and working through the trauma and restrictions Europeans placed upon our world.

Sadly "decolonize" has become to Native Twitter what "x is my spirit animal" has become to white women.
