On the topic of unmarked graves, a good essay: https://lemm.ee/post/10348169 - https://aeon.co/essays/we-must-not-forget-what-happened-to-the-worlds-indigenous-children

And the standing ovation and subsequent apologism for an SS volunteer not withstanding.

You lost me at the ethno-state. They are issues to be addressed sure and it's good to put them on the table instead of shoving them under it but you can't just cherrypick the worst offenses and conclude ethno-state.

I think "like any other" is the key take away here.

Canada isn't any better, but for the most part is also not worse than anyone else in these matters.

That's not to say that we should be excused for doing the bad things (as a culture/society) because other people also do the bad things and sometimes worse bad things.... no. Everyone is guilty. It's a global problem. The names and groups change, the methods change, the outcomes change somewhat, but the story is largely the same regardless of where you go.

The only logical conclusion is that we have a long way to go before the civilization we have built, could be considered "civilized" in any way, shape, or form.

The solution as always is to stop electing 'conservatives'. All people want to move hard with reparations and reconciliation with the exception of RW politicians and their white supremacist base. We need to outnumber them at the polls until they have no say.

The internet will always be be telling you that you should hate your own country. No matter which country you're from, it's the worst country in the world. Funny how that is.

Oh fuck! Did hey acctually bring up one body yet. Must have missed it.

Kid gloves for white people; violence for natives.

Umm... I'm not sure how to approach this, because I'm pretty sure people don't care about the facts and just want to push whatever political narrative, but here:

Also man... The freedom convoy was removed, had their accounts frozen, officers that donated to the convoy were disciplined, and docked pay. At the time I compared it against a pipeline protest by native people, and they were both removed in equal time.

Remember Occupy Wallstreet? Go google Occupy Wallstreet Kettling, and tell me how "handled with kitty gloves" people are.

The thing I can't stand about all of this is Natives recieve tons of support, and recognition in Canada. Like dude. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist, and I'm not saying there isn't generational trauma, and other issues, but just as a matter of fact, in Canada under law Natives aren't given less, they're given more.

But fuck reality eh.
