Where did I say anything about supporting genocide? You’re the one telling me to die lol. I don’t support any form of genocide and at no point in this thread, or any thread, did I say anything to even slightly imply that.
Did you get me confused with someone else you are replying to or something?
I am hopeless when it comes to accepting your white savior view of things, yes. And which original plan? The one in support of murdering all mixed race people? Also which table? I literally don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
If you can’t even justify your position, like…at all. Doesn’t that sort of make you consider rethinking your position at least a little bit?
Many people are absolutely suggesting we give back Vancouver. Giving back only shit that settlers don’t really care about or use defeats the whole point doesn’t it?
Because it isn’t something that can be meaningfully implemented. Not to mention what if it all goes to a First Nation I disagree with having control of it? Like I said, it’s contested between three indigenous groups.
There also the issue, that I keep bringing up, of me being mixed race. I don’t see how we can only look at the 25% of my genetic heritage while ignoring the other 75%. The world is a lot more complicated than a binary worldview of ‘idigenous or not’.
You, and others blindly yelling ‘land back’ without any specifics are not being realistic at all and just want to feel better about your own position without actually taking any meaningful specific actions.
Look, we should do something. I’m looking for solutions. I want Japanese people to get their land back. I want Indigenous people to get their land back. I just don’t know how it’s even vaguely possible or feasible.
Also, following treaties signed under duress and in situations of radically unequally power dynamics isn’t too reasonable either. Not to mention that in much of Western Canada, for example, there aren’t many signed treaties at all.
It’s complicated, yes… But blindly yelling ‘land back’ doesn’t actually provide anyone any meaningful solutions. No one actually gets any land back that way.
So I get to continue living on someone else’s land? I really don’t feel good about that. And who is the ‘they’ here? Only pure blood line indigenous people, but not mixed race indigenous people? I sincerely do not understand what you’re trying to say here.
I definitely support ending property ownership and am a Marxist. But I still don’t know where the mixed race people like myself are supposed to go. And I literally want to go, just trying to figure out where.
Hmm ty. Not sure if my ‘sync’ app is glitching or something. But the upvotes I received make me inclined to think I’m not the only one who had that specific chain disappear all of the sudden.
Edit: K so they were deleted as suspected. But why? While some people disagreed with each other, it was a civil discussion with the intention of providing a solution to a real issue. Very concerning such a thing would get deleted at all.
Lol where’d the only interesting comment chain in this thread go? I thought this was supposed to be not like reddit, but are we deleting entire threads of civil discussion now without even acknowledging it?
I’ll wait. I was under the impression land back is about returning land. I support the concept and I too, would like my land back. I’m not white and haven’t called anything white genocide ever.
I did listen/read your comments, you just didn’t provide any viable solution for mixed race people like me and many millions of others. And the only joke (hopefully at least) answer you can come up with is, somewhat ironically, literal genocide.
You don’t have any meaningful solution whatsoever. I don’t either, the difference is I’m not claiming I do. You are, but won’t provide it.
Should we give Japanese families back houses and land they lost when interred is a great question. My initial thought was ‘yes, of course’… but then I thought perhaps we ought to ask the natives whose land those Japanese families had ‘stolen’.
