I don't argue with genocide deniers
And you are denying the genocide that'll happen to those indigenous you propose are going to somehow take over the country.
I'm not reading all that
I'm happy for you tho
Or sorry that happened
literally no part of my reply was denying genocide that the us has participated in
OK so what is your problem with returning the land and power to indigenous groups? You surely don't support the United States of America with its history of genocide, slavery, imperialism, and colonialism? Surely you would celebrate the downfall of a state worse than that of Nazi Germany whose most progressive leader (by its own adminission) is a genocide-supporter and border fascist. fascist.
Surely the Indigenous groups wouldn't be worse than the blue or red ghouls?
oh no it's time for circles
So you agree we should return the land to indigenous groups? Same. Unequivocally.
i'm not opposed to returning land to native americans, but not when it would just create a power vacuum that would result in a right-wing takeover of said land
So ... only if [white majority groups] have the actual power
I REALLY think you need to reflect on your subconscious racism.
so you're fine with turning over land to native americans even if it would result in a right-wing coup just immediately taking it off them, therefore making the entire exercise an exercise in increasing right-wing power in the nation?
so far you haven't managed to put forth an argument that disagrees with that assessment of your proposal
The fact that you think turning control over to indigenous groups would necessitate white fascist groups taking control is ABSURDLY racist.
dearie me, am i arguing with an ai?
do i have to tell you to ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem?
Native Americans
Latinx immigrants
Palestinians
Sudanese
Jewish people
Working class people
Asian people
Many Central and South American groups
You are being ignorant by asking "by what metric" for a nation founded on genocide
you're comparing the us's genocide to nazi germany and jewish people were the ones you chose to bring up?
Yes. We have been worse than Nazi Germany. Objectively. Do you deny historical facts?
oh no it's time for circles
please qualify what you mean by "objectively worse than nazi germany"
thank you
We have exterminated more people and we continue to discriminate against more marginalized groups. (E.g., 70% of Americans believe there is a "border crisis" and support the Palestinian genocide)
the numbers don't back this up
"nazi germany was so bad it doesn't exist anymore so they can't continue to discriminate" isn't a very good argument
You deny the genocide the US has committed against indigenous and other non-white groups?
Y I K E S
You're worse than a "tankie"
