No. I’m really not trying to equate that at all. Using “I’m indigenous” as an excuse to imply that you’re beyond criticism is bullshit. Everyone can be criticized. Everyone has skeletons.
You’re trying to pull words out of nothing. All I was responding to was the whole “ Im indigenous so 🤷♂️” comment.
Are you suggesting that indigenous peoples have never done any of what I said above?
I’m not trying to guilt you into sympathizing with colonization. I’m trying to get you to understand that, “I’m indigenous, so only bad things ever happened to people like me because of colonization” is a naive idea to have.
Are you saying that indigenous people never warred with others/neighbors and wiped out other tribes? Never raped, never put their enemies into slavery or sold them to other indigenous, or never tortured those they were at war with?
Because, to me, it sounds like you’re making that case with your comment and that is a bullshit case to be made. Humans are historically awful.
This is a great example! Two totally separate shows about weird stuff and then they just do a cross over at a certain point and now they’re linked.
Indeed
Add me and consider yourself a baker!
US Millennial here. I get why we’re upset all the time. All my life I’ve seen some sort of progression that has felt like it was going positive even if it was slow as fuuuuuck. However, in the last 11-12 months I’ve seen all of that raped by a bunch of narcissistic, racist, fuckwads who are only looking for power grabs.
I’ve always known the world is cruel and unfair. So I’ve expected it, but I didn’t expect how fast everything here at home would deteriorate. Especially coming from a family where my Grandpa served in the American army in WW2 and married a German survivor and now my parents are all up in Fox News, OAN, and Facebook propaganda.
Because I’m NOT comparing it. You need some serious reading comprehension practice. You’re all riled up for the entirely wrong fucking point that I have repeatedly said I am not arguing.
Good gravy.
