"Get the illegals out" is and always was a dog whistle for "get the brown people out"

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So now the immigrants are claiming the natives are illegal...

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 102 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They're Nazis. They have a very narrow, and ever narrowing, template for which people deserve to live. Everything except this is beside the point for them, and their words are just there to distract while they ready the machinery of mass extermination. It's clear now that this is the direction they will continue to move in unless they are forcibly stopped.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was never about immigration.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or, from a less Euro-centric POV, it’s always been about ~~immigration~~ settler-colonialism.

Can you imagine how stupid and ignorant you have to be to think that a Native American is somehow not a citizen of the land that they have lived in and on for a thousand years or more? Whereas most of these dipshits people haven't been here for more than two hundred years or so. Of course some of them could be degenerate mayflowers.

[–] HeadyBroccoli@lemmy.zip 35 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I’ve seen a bunch of white people say that whites are Native American, like you have to be forcefully stupid to believe some of the shit they spin.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

Isn't that just Mormonism?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

or some even if they have less than 1% native american ancestry, say they are "native americans. dude, your white asf, you dont even practice or even research thier history.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My wife does this and it kinda bugs me. I have some Native American ancestry, but I don't know who it was, my family hasn't been carrying down tribal traditions. So I wouldn't claim that I am partially Native American. I'm a white dude stuck on stolen land, claiming a birthright to their heritage is just an attempt to steal the last fucking thing Native Americans have been allowed to keep.

I've never seen that. In my experience the worst racism comes from those who have some non white heritage. I have seen whites ashamed they had some Native American blood. Like most of my family from two generations back were very ashamed of it. Of course it used to carry a stigma back in the early twentieth century. Its was the family rumor that a couple of my great uncles I never met were responsible for the local county courthouse burning down. All to erase the past by burning all the birth records. You can't look at any of the surviving pictures of my great grandfather on my mothers side without seeing he had a huge amount of native american blood. On my fathers side my grandfather had a year round tan and jet black hair until it fell out that everyone commented on like it was amazing.

I am however extremely Irish in complexion if not all of my facial features. Proof against one my mothers many bigoted remarks. 'You can't mix it white again'. I'm proof that you can.

I have heard MAGAs say that the NAs are safe on their reservations, but when they cross the line into the United States, they are officially illegal immigrants, and are fully eligible to be arrested.

[–] allriledup@piefed.blahaj.zone 57 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

i love how the invaders of the native Americans' land are saying that the NA aren't citizens of their own land..... Yup. Makes sense.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 28 points 1 week ago

Don't forget the fundamental hypocrisy of Trump telling Greenland that ships 500 years ago don't mean they own the land. That is directly related as well, even if it is technically a separate issue.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If you're American and this is alright with you, you're what the Brits call a cunt.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 16 points 1 week ago

americunts.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Umm. Some Americans would call those pricks cunts as well.. (how does that one work again?)

I mean, I would.

[–] Shamber@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And they dare call everyone else uncivilised, and third world countries, and Jesus this and Jesus that, while at the same time protecting pedophiles, attacking and killing their own, they are simply the epitome of degeneration, stupidity and barbaric behaviour of our generation, technology and wealth are never the measure of civilisation..Fuck this shit hole of a country

The US has become both Nazi Germany and current day Israel.

[–] 14specks@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Both of those countries took notes from the United States, particularly with respect to the success of the genocide of American Indians.

Continuing the ~~proud~~ American tradition of violating treaties.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Deport them ASAP! Back to their federally recognized tribal lands!!

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 week ago (10 children)

These Nazis don't care. The point is to assert white supremacy through terror.

It's horrible obviously, but also yeah, what's the plan there?

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is no plan other than to hope they get their bonus for capturing "illegals" before it is discovered that they are in fact, Americans.

There's no surplus of smarts in evidence with these morons.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago

The plan is to start a war so elections can be disputed or suspended, the prison industrial complex investors get rich and people are too desperate trying to restore order, they forget about environmental, health and labor regulations.

[–] Osan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

mfw the US government can perform secret assassinations and kidnapping on foreign soil with high precision, but can't for the love of god distinguish between Latin Americans and Native Americans.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago

They're not trying. They want to terrorize both.

If anyone is interested in the liberation of American Indians/First Nations I encourage you to get a copy and read "Custer Died for Your Sins" today!


Also, if you don't want to be a colonizer, the first step is to actually study the history of the people in your local region. The history of indigenous people and settlers is not necessarily separate, but intertwined.

In order to stand together with tribes, most of whom gave been held in poverty and disrespected (and worse!) by the United States, it is important to thoroughly understand the topics at hand so we can bring about the proper restitution. Despite the efforts of settlers to erase these people and their history, we have the opportunity to stand with them and write a new chapter.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 12 points 1 week ago

Oh the fucking irony.

[–] Jimm@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This situation is really upsetting tribal leaders in Minnesota are saying ICE has been stopping and detaining Native Americans who are already U.S. citizens, and they’re calling it racial profiling and a violation of treaty rights. Indigenous officials are pointing out that tribal members have been citizens far longer than the United States has even existed, and they don’t fall under immigration enforcement jurisdiction. They’ve made it clear that their citizenship isn’t negotiable and are demanding answers and the release of anyone wrongly held. Many lawmakers and advocates are calling this a civil-rights issue, and it’s sparked serious outrage in the community

So yea, first they came for the easy pickings and you didn't fight back. So they're getting more emboldened.
