  • according to the concept of settler colonialism, colonizers cannot simply “become natives” as the term “native” refers to the indigenous people who inhabited a land before colonization, and the act of colonization inherently dispossesses and marginalizes those populations, making it impossible for colonizers to truly integrate as “natives” without addressing the historical power imbalance and injustices committed.

    Key points to consider:

    Definition of “Native”: Indigenous peoples are considered “native” because they are the original inhabitants of a land, with deep cultural and historical ties to it.

    Power Dynamics: Colonization involves the forceful takeover of land and subjugation of indigenous populations, making it impossible for colonizers to simply claim the identity of the people they displaced.

    Cultural Appropriation: Attempting to fully assimilate into a native culture without acknowledging the historical context of colonization can be seen as cultural appropriation.

    However, it’s important to note:

    Individual Actions: While a colonizer cannot become “native” in the true sense, individuals can actively work towards reconciliation by learning about indigenous cultures, supporting indigenous rights, and acknowledging the history of colonization.

    Complex Situations: In certain contexts, there might be cases of individuals with mixed heritage, where ancestry ties them to both colonizer and indigenous populations, creating complex identity issues.





  • Xwitter and other media companies should be regulated under the FCC, not sure if they actually are.

    The FCC only has a policy prohibiting news distortion, but no “law, rule, or regulation.” So, media channels have free will to lie and exaggerate news to the American citizens.

    Fox News won this court battle in 2003, said it was their 2nd amendment right to lie. And it has been a literal bullshit-show in America ever since.

    This was not an accident by the Supreme Court, they are actively working on removing democracy from our government ever since they intervened with the 2000 election.

    They are very close.








  • Had to educate myself on the dolfin reference:

    "Answer: Vance tweeted this in February. The bolded words in the video description imply that he (or whoever he got the screenshot from) entered a search that contained the words “woman” and “dolphin,” which some people are deciding to interpret as an attempt to search for dolphin themed beastiality porn.

    Following the fake couch story that went viral, people are eager to keep the spirit of the meme alive by finding new ways to portray JD Vance as sexually deviant in the lead up to the election."

    Anyways, I’m game!

    Vance fanticises about fucking dolfins while he is fucking his couch! Ha!
