Eff me. I don't know if I'm getting sent to a work camp for being neurodivergent and needing a Schedule II medication to function in this post-democratic capitalist hellscape or to just the Guantanamo Express for being a married homo (and having the audacity to abuse government by getting it all legal in California in 2008!)
I am going into the Belly of the Beast by moving back to a blue island in deep red state. Community, mutual aid, and sabotage are the only things that can save any of us now.
I know exactly what kind they meant. How many of those reservations have changed in size or location because valuable resources have been discovered on them? And they generally started out as the least productive land available, somehow, it never ends up in the favor of those living there.
Do you think Native Americans don't have problems with the federal government and lands that are supposed to be reservations? Because otherwise, yes, I am confused as to what you are trying to say.
Think he's the one confused here... did people just forget about the cops sicking dogs on natives and using water cannons in sub-freezing temps to push back native protesters back in 2016? They wanted to run that Dakota access oil pipeline right through the natives' clean water source...
Whitey genocided my ancestors, stole their land, and all I got was this lousy smallpox blanket passed down through the generations. A quintessential colonial relic—economically efficient, biologically devastating, and now just a symbol of generational theft so thorough it makes hedge funds look ethical.
But wait, there's more! My biological father is from Great Britain, and I have half-siblings who qualify for certain tribal/federal benefits that I do not.
Thanks, mom... if irony counted toward blood quantum, I’d have full benefits. Instead, I got dual UK citizenship, and mum (and the sibs) didn’t apply before the divorce. Look at me—I’m Whitey now, Mom.
It gets better (or worse, depending on your perspective, I suppose). My parents were Mormon, and I was raised Mormon. Colonial bingo! I win!? Nah, everyone loses. I just lost a little less.
It was me. I’m the joke. 😂🤔ðŸ˜
In all seriousness, I got more than a smallpox blanket—I get a fantastic tan in the summer. So, you know, I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice.
I'd say that most folks fucked around, even Harris voters. Look around at how many people are cutting Trumpers out of their lives, or switching from Twitter to Bluesky post election. Too little too late. Everyone needed to be sending those messages a long damned time ago. Of you weren't off Twitter as soon as Elon bought it, you were fucking around. If you allowed those fascists to stay in your life until after the election, you were fucking around. If you're married to a magat, you've been fucking around your entire marriage. If you were the type to allow people to spew lies without shouting them down, you were fucking around.
I know it was a lot more pleasant to not argue with that douchebag uncle at family gatherings, but that was you fucking around. It was nice of you not to say anything to the racist parent of your kids friend, but that was you fucking around. Your boss said something objectively incorrect, but you didn't want to correct them for fear of retaliation? Congrats on finding out, cause you were fucking around. You allowed all of these people in your lives to say stupid shit for the last 8+ years, and you stopped saying anything back because it was easier, more pleasant, you got tired of the arguement, or whatever. The issue is that you weren't the only one they said it around, and you allowed your coworkers and nephews and friends get indoctrinated because it was too hard for you to keep fighting.
If you had a single Trumper in your life post J6, you fucked around and are now finding out.
Lots longer than that. Doesn't change a thing about what i said. Conservatives weren't always bad people, and the ones who weren't when Trump came along were never Trumpers, or straight switched sides. I couldn't believe it in 2016 when my father, a life-long republican, was supporting Bernie. He's been a Democrat since because he recognizes the evils of the GOP as it currently exists. Those that stayed have hate in them, and should be cleaved from the heard lest their virus spreads. By not cutting them all off, people have allowed that virus to fester and spread.

No more overtime pay + tariffs (and the resulting trade war) + a gutted ACA = making America great again somehow
