I'm actually going to leave this up to n1x to reply to because I don't want to put words in her mouth. I will, however, say that I think you're reading a bit too much into everything.

You should get him to talk about the Congolese with all the breadth and depth of a Guardian article.

Yeah Max very helpfully pointed out that Congolese men dressing up in a parody/imitation of dandy colonists as a way to respond to being impoverished colonial subjects perceived to be inferior did invalidate the fact that Congolese children die mining your iPhone materials

Yes, please continue. I'm sure the Congolese are dying to have a white man explain their culture to them. That isn't colonialist at all. You will bring them liberation and they will worship you as their white savior.

lol you literally posted a picture of Congolese men smiling so you could argue children dying in cobalt mines was whatever & then I repeat what Congolese people say about their own relationship to colonial history & I’m supposed to be whitesplaining?

Out of a paralyzing fear of being accused of being a white savior, Max Castle has decided to bravely nod with approval as the Congolese die mining for his computer parts

Interested to know what you have done for the Congolese that die mining your computer parts.

oh as a twitter user in the imperial core, I’m crazy culpable for colonial mining practices, but I’m also right in that I recognize the significance of my involvement, which does already set me apart from you, Nyx, Xeno, & other committed ideologues of bourgeois libertarianism

Do you realize that the vast majority of mining that supplies US&Euro materials is not particularly exploitive or colonial? There are certain cases like the Congo that indisputably are but those make up a small fraction of global mineral supply.
