    yes because of your pfp, why else? who doesn’t love columbo?

    i’m not using anti-indigenous capitalist propaganda

    attempting to reframe anything that’s been said so far as such is clearly arguing in bad faith, and frankly, really weird

        because acknowledging that the native american population has been beaten down by the state repeatedly and for centuries isn’t anti-indigenous? because acknowledging that the native american population is a victim of systemic and at times systematic racism isn’t anti-indigenous?

        unless you would deny that they’ve been beaten down by the state repeatedly and for centuries?

            i’m saying they’re not up to the task without significant support from some hypothetical party backing them up

            i don’t know what party you’d put in that position if not the current government, and at that point it seems like we’re back to the start, no?

                super weird that the abused aren’t in a position of power, and that the abusers are

                yeah, the party in power is majority white, and yeah that’s because of historic racism, but that doesn’t change the scenario that we’re both looking at

                  Yeah so weird that you support white saviorism instead of returning control to indigenous groups.

                  It’s almost like you’re a liberal centrist.

                    what’s your plan for returning power to indigenous people without involving a group that’s currently in power (and therefore predominantly white, since racism exists), without having right wing populists use the power vacuum to seize control?
