But nobody is talking about ethnic cleansing.

Reclaiming stolen land is not ethnic cleansing.

And also that much more territory should be transferred back to the reserves.

Correct and it leads to a simple question: If the tribal governments decide that all land claims and titles in the county upon which your house resides are null and void, they're beginning a land reclamation project, current title holders have no rights to the land, what are you going to do? Fight them? Claim ethnic cleansing? It's their land, not yours.

Spot on comrade.

But now it can be prevented and something can be done to stop it but world powers are sitting on their asses to fill their pockets. We should be learning from history not repeating it.

If you don't see how both of these western settler colonial projects are linked, then I'm sure you haven't learned from history. The fact that many westerners are equally ignorant is why we're repeating it in 2025.

The gaza strip, ie the current world concentration camp, is where israel and it's euro-amerikkkan allies have quardoned off 2 million palestinians.

Very few countries currently are based on native eviction, where settlers have nearly replaced the indigenous peoples. The US, canada, australia, new zealand, israel are the main ones.

I think it's projecting western colonial guilt to claim that all countries are equally based on indigenous eviction. Even colonial projects like Spain's in South America did not do to their indigenous peoples what the british did to north america.

Land back means the ownership of the land is returned; it does not mean the expulsion of non-indigenous people

Not up to you or me, that's up to the indigenous tribes themselves to decide.

That doesn't really make sense if you're not first-gen; there is nowhere to go "back" to, if you were born there.

Less than half an hour later, the finders keepers rule I talked about elsewhere in this thread gets invoked.

Maybe you should get off your armchair and go to a protest.

Extremely redditor behavior

You do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to javascript".

Love this quiz btw

Why do the brits always think they're allowed to draw lines on territory that doesn't belong to them, and evict native peoples.

I remember reading the selfish gene maybe a decade ago... iirc a meme is really just any idea, that like a gene, can replicate and spread, and has a "fitness" to its environment that means it either spreads easier, or dies out. It applies to any idea / mental construct, from art, music, even to sayings, philosophies or moods.

They are sweet little goofballs.

I call this the finders keepers rule of colonialism. The western supremacists think that as long as you

  • Kill a large enough percentage of the native population, and
  • Wait long enough

Then the finders keepers rule kicks in, and you get to keep anything you stole. They even will yell "no ethnostates!!" at indegenous peoples they evicted and stole land from.

The main point is that its not for anyone but indigenous peoples to determine what they want to do with their land.

Bloodthirsty british and european settlers, greedy for land, wiped out hundreds of native tribes, each with rich cultures, art, languages, and beliefs. And most of this happened less than 150 years ago.

Clearing an entire continent of peoples is unprecendented in history, and what's worse, is that it's still ongoing, and no one has had to account for this earth-shattering crime.

I've found this to be pretty useful when needing to do recursive / multi-file search and replace. Also has bindings to work within terminal text editors like vim and helix.

Uses rust and ripgrep under the hood for speed.

Thanks to everyone

We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute.

Support development

We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over five years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation, as well as donations from individual users.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive, and helps us grow our little developer co-op to support more full-time developers.
