I fucking hate land acknowledgments so fucking much. I'd rather they not do it instead of make a mockery of indigenous people's suffering and existence.

What does acknowledgment even mean? I acknowledge I stole your land and genocided your people. Reparations? What? No no no, only acknowledgment! You want me to actually give back the things I took from you?

It's a liberal thought terminating cliche that's supposed to make libs feel better and nothing else. "At least we can talk about it, ~~so shut the fuck up~~."
