TBOTSS and colonialism

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

How does this square with your original argument that the inhumi's tragedy
was that they were incapable by nature of being other than evil, and that if
they were just "humans in drag" this tragedy would be meaningless?
