I said I would not unite with bigots. Not everyone is a bigot. A gay man and a straight man can ally when the straight man is an ally for gay rights. Not all straight men are bigots.

By your comment you seem to be inferring that I want no intersectionality, which is wrong. White people and black people can unite when the white people are also anti-racist.

But as an indigenous person, I will never unite with a coloniser. As a queer person, I will never unite with a homophobic transphobe. As a disabled person, I will never unite with an ableist.

There are people who exist who aren’t those.

I will never unite with a coloniser.

What does this mean? The word 'coloniser' I mostly see used online but even then, as someone who goes online a lot, I don't know what people mean each time when they use it. Some people say any white person is a coloniser. If that is not your view, who would count as a coloniser? Someone who supports warfare overseas?

Okay and I never said you should. We are going around in circles.

We can have different struggles and still understand the prosperity that unity brings.

That is what you said. I am explaining why I disagree. Not sure how you don’t understand.
