Harvard conservative magazine is suspended by its own board after publishing article laced with Nazi rhetoric

As you said, context matters - it can be about self-determination and anti-imperialism, but that's really only in the context of a country being a (former) colony, being ruled over by an imperialist power without a say in their own governance. That's not applicable to modern Germany, France, Britain, or America.

Surely not only formerly-colonized countries have a right to autonomy and democracy... (Although in the case of America, we are a former colony.)

A case could be made that European countries are currently being colonized, even Britain. At what point does it get bad enough we're allowed to feel sorry for them? (For me, the limit was the Rotherham grooming gangs.)

In Tug-of-War Over Harvard Salient’s Future, Board of Directors Lawyers Up​

The Harvard Salient’s board of directors issued a cease and desist order instructing members of the conservative student magazine to stop publishing under the Salient’s name and representing themselves as leaders of the organization, the board announced on Monday.

The announcement came one week after Richard Y. Rodgers ’28, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, said that the student publication would remain active in the wake of the board’s initial decision to suspend the organization.

But in a Wednesday text to The Crimson, Rodgers wrote that student leaders agreed to abide by the cease and desist order, though he maintained that statements made by the board of directors without approval by student leadership violate the organization’s bylaws.

No, it cannot.

No, it cannot.

When a bunch of violent, fighting-aged, disproportionately-male "refugees" started landing on my homeland in 1492 it didn't go well for us. And we didn't have our own leaders selling us out and our invaders weren't as fond of rape and their monogamy meant they didn't breed like rabbits. And we had a LOT of land. The effects took time to hit. And our elders gave awards to braves who fought back rather than jailing everyone who even complained about it.

Britain is cooked.

And they're cooked in the future on a level even the Native Americans weren't.

Ngl I don't care about Germany after what they did in the war, but watching Britain is horrifying.

Well that went from zero to racist real quick.
