  • Probably Europe too. It just played out over a longer time, which made it less pronounced, and more forgotten.

    The more recent the theft the more it features in our indignation. Palestine > Americas > Europe.

    This doesn’t mean by the way that what happened in the Americas or Palestine is any less bad. Colonizers are eager to say: “look it happened before, look it happens elsewhere.” But fuck them.

    In fact it makes their crimes worse. Every time lessons are not learned the responsibility increases.

    It only strengthens the case for the universal fight to redistribute what had been stolen.

    Thieves, murderers and rapists. Absolute scum of the earth. They must be fully ostracized.

    Also wind patterns. At the midlatitudes westerlies dominate. So the east coast has a continental climate (receives cold air in the winters, hot air in the summers) while the west coast does not (the oceans make the summers and winters mild)

    You’ll see that the west coast cities on the same latitudes of their European counterparts have a very similar climate (as opposed to east coast cities, which have a very different climate than their latitude-counterpart).
