There exist settled colonies apart from that. Nothing when europe did its jazz party worldwide, when all the '-istan' countries happened over a long period of 'peaceful times', when more 'recently' Pakistan and Bangladesh played the "sike, I dont want you" with Hindus? Or when Papua new Guinea was and is being settled on by Indonesia, funded by the obvious

Hell closest to you probably (idk if youre american), gold rush fucked every native over (Lakotah). tribes in America (also Lakotah 2007) and Australia (Muruwari 2013) wanted their own country, UN said no. Trust me, UN doesn't care, all it ever does is write a strongly worded letter when everyone starts glaring.

Is the issue here that they are being too hasty? Doing it too fast? Or the fact that news is easily accessible and people get to say things online for nothing to get done on ground level?

I am really confused about this mostly useless silent protest

Just because colonialism hasn't been opposed in the past, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be opposed in the present and future
