Disgusting libshit, fetishising indigenous cultures as these perfect things.
Imagine having such a reaction to a positive message.
Maybe reevaluate your values.
Or take blood pressure medication at least.
Or don't.
I'm not your mom.
The world might be better off without you, if you happen to forget the meds.
Sorry mate, I don’t enjoy racism.
You sure? I mean using the term libshit is pretty telling...
That I’m a leftist? Yeah it is.
Looks like someone escaped from the Hexbear echo-chamber and hasn't realized yet that their phrasing is virtually indistinguishable from right-wing trash.
You've never met a leftist before have you? Welcome to outside your rightwing life.
are you really this naive

It's common place leftist lingo for years now mate, get over rightie.
Mans really said rightie
it's certainly commonplace among some online groups of leftists, and may be an adequate term on occasion (in contexts where people will know what it means) for the most egregious liberal faux-solidarity nonsense. I'm saying it's naive to assume someone has never even been exposed to leftist thought because they don't appreciate the rude edgelord antics of specific online communities
Calling something shit is edgy to you?
That’s your problem mate, it’s a pretty benign thing for you to overreact about.
Ohh shitlib is edgy and mean but directly insulting someone is cool in your book?
Fucking hypocrite.
So you self label as a leftist then post some obviously negatively received "opinions" in an effort to make real left leaning folks look bad?
Poor guy's playing 2D chess.
Haha sure mate.
Think you will find that my original comment is positively upvoted and received. Its just you right wingers upset that you got called out in the comments having a whinge.
You have -46 downvotes.
Is that what you call it? Here I've been telling everyone you're a disappointment 🤷♂️
Racism? Which part of that is racist?
Not really, the point is that you don't have to work yourself to the bone, or always be trying to climb that next rung in the company ladder to validate your existence. Your existence doesn't need to be validated by metrics based in money.
Just existing and living your life is okay. That's not something to sneer at. Rather, you should ask yourself why you are so triggered by that idea.
Problem is not everyone interprets it that way. Some people take it as an excuse to sit on their ass smoking weed and playing video games all day while they leech off someone that's too kind to kick them to the curb.
I think yiu also missed the point of the quote.
You can't "just exist" without being a burden on someone else. You have to put in some work to get at least the basics of survival. Food and shelter require a stable income.
Wow that is some straight brainwashed shit. I guess you can just suckle off big daddy gates, musk, bezos take your pick.
Quick little reminder to others reading this, some native American tribes gave eachother homes and food because they wanted their fellow man to be comfortable and most didn't have any form of currency. Just good will towards your fellow human.
That's great and all but where's the food and shelter coming from these days? I certainly don't know anyone willing to give it to me for nothing and I don't have anything to spare for anyone else. Someone has to work to produce it. We're not living in a hunter-gatherer society anymore. How many people are you supporting?
Right.
And imagine just saying “relax and don’t make work your life” instead of “Indigenous people were perfect and have no desire to achieve anything “
Ones encouraging. The other is well racist.
That's not at all what the post said, not even remotely. Contrasting their belief system with western belief system doesn't anywhere in there imply they are perfect.
i agree. the post was phrased weirdly like white ppl are at fault
No we don't not agree.
This has nothing to do with "white people" or fault.
i misunderstood your comment.
How on earth do you make the jump from "some indigenous cultures believe this cool thing" to "fetishizing indigenous cultures as these perfect things"
Like, I don't think they're saying it's true because some indigenous cultures believe it - and those specific indigenous cultures are to be trusted as a moral authority.
They're just saying that some cultures believe this thing and they agree with that belief.
I guess I can't know for sure what she meant without being able to ask her, but there's no reason to assume she was making an extremely weird claim when that obviously isn't necessarily true.
But I guess if you are willing to jump to that conclusion, you will see claims like that everywhere, and maybe that makes it seem like a safe assumption that that is what she's saying.
(When I say "maybe," I really do mean maybe. I'm not under the impression that I know everything about you, lol. I'm just exploring a possibility that there's no real way for me to ever confirm or falsify. Just thinking out loud for curiosity's sake.)
It contains the word "indigenous" so their brain jumps to "must hate".
More like must protect. This sort of view of indigenous peoples is left-over colonialist mentality that has no place in the modern world.
