I believe I have repeatedly stated I do not think we were right in Colelie. Thus people trying to explain to me why we weren’t is inherently patronizing.
Again, my issue is not with the events themselves, it is with how the path that lead to them is discussed: the taking as self-evident the fact that territorial sovereignty trumps claims of blood, calling tribal sentiments uncivilized, dismissing concerns as something that don’t need to be discussed further.
I’m also fine with Feds continuing to be arrogant bastards. I am not trying to make them stop, I’m not saying “don’t”. Just trying to explain why it is that we call them so. (With the State and the enemy even more so, of course.)
