He died from a heart attack and went to hell? Is he maybe taking this as some kind of sign to change his ways?

i'm not the one sitting here denying that native americans face and have faced racial abuse at the hands of society

you're literally using the right-wing tactic of "you're acknowledging racism therefore you're racist"

oh no it's time for circles

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?

again, a group of people that's been oppressed to the degree native americans have is not in a position to govern a nation like america

do you deny the oppression that native americans have faced?

dearie me, am i arguing with an ai?

do i have to tell you to ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem?

literally no part of my reply was denying genocide that the us has participated in

We have exterminated more people

the numbers don't back this up

continue to discriminate against more marginalized groups

"nazi germany was so bad it doesn't exist anymore so they can't continue to discriminate" isn't a very good argument

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

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

oh no it's time for circles

please qualify what you mean by "objectively worse than nazi germany"

thank you
