Nativism is excluding outsiders, anti-colonialism is being against subjugation by powerful outsiders. I'm starting to think people are only pretending not to get this.

Powerful outsiders like invaders who explicitly oppressed the natives living in their domain. I don't support a lot of the stuff the IRA did but acting like they were the clear bad guys and the Ulsters were the clear good guys is willfully ignorant.

If Nigel Farage went on TV and explained that the EU is much stronger than Britain and has been trying for years to colonize it with continental europeans by means of the freedom of movement provisions in the EU treaties, would he become an anti-colonialist hero and the Brexit a brave act of decolonization and preserving Britain for rule by its native people?

Someone who is born in Northern Ireland, who's never set a foot outside of it, who's family and friends are all in Norhtern Ireland is not an outsider, it doesn't matter if they're deep Catholic Irishman, orange wearing Unionists or a second generation pakistani who keeps close ot family traditions. they have the right to be there, and they have the right to have his culture respected and be free from suffering violence .Yeah, the fact some of them are there was the result of horrible poo poo in the past that shouldn't have happened, but the fact is that they are there, and there lives are there. They have the right to be there, and they have no duty at all to 'integrate or leave'.

We can point to some government policies that try to stamp out a culture and say 'hey, this stuff is wrong' but pointing at someone and saying 'hey, if you live in this piece of land, you need to adhere to this cultural package is a toxic kind of thinking and bad and poo poo.

There is an extremely strong difference between people who are there because of active, violent colonization and people who are there because of immigration and this is the kind of stupid equivocation that ends up carrying water for zionist expansion and rhodesian nostalgia as though they were value neutral immigrants.

Its actually not that hard to get around that restriction you're putting up here. Observe:

"Rich liberals are collaborating with a foreign power (the EU) to colonize the UK with displaced workers, because they're cheaper. This is an act of colonialism. That a small minority of well placed turncoat british, have made this explicit goverment policy, is irrelevant to whether it's colonialism or not."

Ultimately all nationalism leads to the same end point.

trying to reduce an entire country / group down to active, violent colonization will always be reductionist because in israel, something like half the jewish population is descended from middle eastern jews who were expelled from arab countries.

If a person himself took part in that active colonization? Then he deserves consequences not because he's a different culture, but because he took part in violent colonization. But that is not a taint you can just keep transferring across the generation. At some point, you gotta say 'yeah,, the reason they are here because lovely people did lovely things, but they never took part in this, they were born here, their life is here, and their culture is what it is, and they should be respected same as any other culture, '

Does that mean that the crimes of the past have born fruit, and they got away with it? Yes.
