"They're the same picture"

“Ah but you see, a long time has passed by! There’s generations [of settler-colonialists] that have already lived through these times, and the people of today have nothing to do with their past!”

Motherfucker, landback means the LAND which is rightfully the Indigenous’ is taken BACK, and it means you GO BACK too, no one should give a fuck about which gen. you’re currently a part of.

They’re going to say the exact same shit for Palestine if it’s allowed to be festered long enough by settler-colonialists, as if it already hasn’t been festered.

and it means you GO BACK too

That doesn’t really make sense if you’re not first-gen; there is nowhere to go “back” to, if you were born there. What place does someone belong in more than the place they were born? Do you think that some far-away land with a different culture, that hates immigrants, would accept someone in just because of blood relation?

Land back means the ownership of the land is returned; it does not mean the expulsion of non-indigenous people. Maybe you should get off your armchair and go to a protest.

Not up to you or me, that’s up to the indigenous tribes themselves to decide.

Less than half an hour later, the finders keepers rule I talked about elsewhere in this thread gets invoked.

Extremely redditor behavior

Not just reddit but very lib brain behavior. They need material support for people on the rez not some cracker with a white savior complex holding a sign at a rally.
So you’re saying that we shouldn’t have protests…?
By all means sure protest and use it to get people to do something more but telling Dessalines who literally created this platform and did more actual work than most of us ever had to get off their chair and go protest strikes me as lost liberal behavior.
I didn’t say that to Dessalines.
@[email protected] that was actually to me. But even then, assuming I’m not already engaging in real-life activism to downplay the point I was making isn’t really a valid criticism of the point, but ig looking at other threads you seem to get that by now so it’s w/e really.
It came across wrong. I was inferring that you weren’t doing real-life activism because I don’t encounter people with the opinion I thought you had (that land back = ethnic cleansing) out on the streets in real life. But yeah, in another thread, it turns out I misunderstood you to begin with.
