It is now indigenous people day

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

..... for those wondering ... I'm Indigenous Canadian and the idea of Columbus day is both completely foreign and silly to me. Why anyone would celebrate a genocidal psychopathic pedophile that treated people like animals to be bought sold and traded is beyond me.

On the flip side, it's made me look up Native American and Trek related content, which led me to discover a whole bunch of imagery of Leonard Nimoy's early acting career where he portrayed Native American people in many western films and TV shows.

Fun fact: Christopher Columbus is not celebrated in Italy or Spain. They want nothing to do with him.

The man didn't even make it to the mainland. He landed in Cuba, thought it was India, murdered a bunch of natives, and stole their stuff.

So not too different from the British Empire, except they knew when they were in India.

Ya know, when you put it like that, it adds a whole other layer of fuckedupedness on the rotten lasagna of history.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
