Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

The problem with them is that they're bullshit. We have them here in Australia "We recognise that this is the land of XYZ"
No you don't. You haven't given those people any legal right over their land. You might as well be saying nothing.
Yeah each one should at least come with “we donated x% of our proceeds from this to [the tribe]” or whatever. Something actually tangible. Otherwise it’s just, and we all know this to be true of course, self righteous lip service
It's actually worse than saying nothing, it's basically sarcastic and kicking them while they're down
"Oh yeah? You want your land back? Well too bad"
Aw well, bud, seems like you ain't a fella Canuck?
Well, I stay by your statement: land acknowledgements are, at best, useless, if not patronizing....
