    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

      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?

          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 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
