va*sh be like:
please hunt whites for sport, me first
It is sort of understandable that someone unfamiliar with landback but familiar with the fact that literally all the land in the Americas belonged to Native Americans would completely misinterpret what landback means of you dont specify that returning large amounts of public land is all that has to mean, and that it actually does not mean returning all of the stolen land. Also helps that one of the comments under this comment will be a picture of Hans Moleman from the Simpsons and “I was saying it”
Edit: oh somebody already posted it lmao
Returning public lands in the capitalist system would just mean that the corporations will strong arm the tribes to exploit the land unfortunately
This has actually happened before
Well, under our system the capitalists would do that even if the Native Americans got the whole continent. If the land gets taken over by a bunch of megalandlords we can help them overthrow that system if they ask for our help, same as anyone

Sounds like we need a better system.

A bunch of megalandlords have taken over the land right now, no one’s overthrown them yet.
I checked out landback’s youtube. Don’t get me wrong, the existance of Mt. Rushmore is a slap in the face to anyone who holds the black hills sacred, and indigenous people generally. I just don’t believe it’s status will ever be change as long as the US government continues in its current form.
That’s gonna be true in pretty much all circumstances, but at least they’d be positioned to get their slice of the pie (coup of the new indigenous government incoming ofc)
Yeah they just coup the government or bribe people, its very common. Very rare for the average tribe citizen to get anything out of it
The fuck do you mean that’s gonna be true under pretty much all circumstances? ‘Get their slice of the pie’ this is capitalist mentality. The exceptional circumstances are the revolution, brother.
I think it’s a a self report whenever you have these discussions and white people assume that indigenous groups will be as genocidal as they were
Y’all can literally give your land back to indigenous people at any time.
