“Kill all colonizers?” Isn’t “colonizer” just another word for “immigrant?”

There are plenty of unoccupied islands in the Pacific, lots owned by the U.S. I’d hazard a guess that President Trump might even give Antifa an island of its own. Then all these people can relocate there and protest to their moon god that they don’t have electricity, a pizza parlor, a bar, and so forth.

Tesla might be a cult hero of the looney left.

He was a genius who created so many wonderful things that were stolen from the evil capitalist scum.

Without Tesla, no Alternating Current. Edison gave the world Direct Current.

Tesla was a true genius and Edison a backyard tinkerer. There was nothing “loony” about Tesla.
