My understanding is that he moved to a different place legally following the policies set in place by the government that ostensibly represents the people there. Colonizers generally do not ask permission to settle a place and they do so in mass through a coordinated effort and do not try to integrate into the local community. He’s from Australia, a place that had an indigenous population before it was colonized that still lives there, so moving from there to a place that he had to request permission from seems kinda, not like colonizing? Though I believe he has referred to himself as a colonizer regardless. Also, he seems to take issue with almost every government, which people interpret as him defending authoritarians. Taking issue with the US or France or whatever does not equate to defending authoritarian regimes. He has some takes I don’t agree with, but he seems to be pretty internally consistent and he behaves according to his beliefs.
