Rob Van Dam y una postura anti colonialista
Ayer Rob Van Dam, RVD, destapó una lata de gusanos con un polémico tweet. Recordemos que siendo 24 de noviembre, se celebró el Día de Acción de Gracias (Thanksgiving Day), la fiesta nacional más importante de USA.
“¡Feliz día de fiesta a todos! Vamos a reservar un momento hoy para recordar de qué se trata esto: familias, uniéndose… para asesinar a los indios y robar sus tierras para poder esclavizar a los africanos para que trabajen en los campos. O simplemente sigamos ignorando la indeseable historia y sigamos asombrados del mundo actual“.
Happy holiday everyone!Let’s set aside a moment today to remember what this is about- families, coming together… to murder Indians & steal their land so we could enslave Africans to work the fields. Or just keep ignoring undesirable history and remain SHOCKED at today’s world.🤷🏻♂️

La postura de RVD es claramente anticolonialista, ya que hace alusión al reconocimiento de los grandes crímenes por colonización, que han sido claves en la conformación histórica de USA. Esto de por si, se mete a un frecuente debate que se da en varios países y culturas realmente: “¿Debemos asumir la responsabilidad de los crímenes que cometieron las generaciones pasadas y nuestros ancestros?“.
Como era de esperarse, muchos le respondieron a RVD, entre felicitaciones, insultos o bromas. Asimismo, el luchador también ha interactuado bastante en la polémica:
Same. Guilt and empathy are very different. I suspect the status quo is void of one or often, both. https://t.co/qvHECVbrhy

That was actually from the dirty matts on the floor,but it washed off.

Choosing to face the current, in hopes of making change is always risky. I go with a different flow. 😤 https://t.co/rIyh3CrsjT
I just suggested let’s take a moment today.

Go back to your bubble.
And watch out for celery in the stuffing. https://t.co/9AAsgePf9l
That makes it ok? Or just not interesting to you?

Did you happen to be a murderous Viking back in the day? You guys were ruthless AF https://t.co/V1vWE43Tvx
Lol. Did your history class at school just teach about you crawling on the floor and learning to talk? History is shit that happened in the past. It’s not personal property but it’s part of a big story that encompasses everything. https://t.co/VvPuVWh6Kt

That’s ok. You seem weirdly defensive and nothing about your facts contradict what I said. Any perceived implications of guilt, or exclusivity of the said actions are born inside your conscience. https://t.co/5W74gjTRZX

Acknowledging human history isn’t the same as admitting to taking part in it. It doesn’t disappear from existence without your attention, your education is just limited. Did you know women couldn’t vote in the 20’s? It was illegal to be gay in the 60’s? Run, Forest, RUN! https://t.co/FaOeA6BX2I

If I was any calmer I’d be sleeping. You must be reading it in a very excited manner because you’ve never ever heard me say anything. Don’t worry. Fans do that when they have to read dialogue that’s inconsistent with their hungry hippos good ft-giving memories. https://t.co/o1Ha9ffyLc

People in general seem to lack empathy, which should develop sometime between adolescence and young adulthood, and that’s a small step from psychopathy. I’ve been studying this for a long time. It’s scary 😟 https://t.co/K0qszOtHsn

Like, forget it? Same with all wrongs of the past? Jewish genocide? What about hanging Jesus on the cross? You prefer to delete that one or you like it? Or is it ok to accept it, categorize it and live in the new moment with a better understanding of the story of people? https://t.co/nvR0wwKDL7

Oops. If they leaving’ for my thoughts, they wasn’t a fan of my thoughts in the first place. 🤪 https://t.co/A4B16t84jh

I love history. I’m hoping some of you will accept it into your lives. https://t.co/FTKsTslAib

When someone says they know they’re smarter or richer than you, they have a child mindset and they’re most likely full of shit , because successful people simply don’t talk like that. Tag out of the convo immediately if you’re able. #facts https://t.co/3eABBg0eu0

I’ll fast forward to the end and tell you he got what he deserved. #fascist https://t.co/hS0QOgyjIo

You’ll be disappointed, I’m sure, to learn I’m a nonconformist, non- traditionalist, and I don’t get angry. Also try to keep your brain from exploding, but I’m grateful AF every day, love my life, I’m my own role model, but still acknowledge bloody history at the same time. 🤯 https://t.co/bkzAnLWe75

We would not be at the same party in real life.

And you would be bored AF at my stoic acceptance of things that shock or entertain you. https://t.co/rpB0rFCiwE
Recordemos que tras una prolífica carrera, RVD está actualmente semi retirado y trabajando como part-timer.
