Pretty sure my uncle is a Nazbol. Used to be very active in the largest leftist party and then left over "wokeism." He wanted to purge the trans members and not focus as much on indigenous issues. The end result was him getting booted and moving to the far-right.
Now he advocates for universal healthcare, free public college, paid family leave, environmental protections, erasure of lgbt, indigenous that have been "westernized" losing their rights and status, as well as women not being allowed to divorce.
Sounds like he likes all the social programs that will benefit him, but not the ones that won’t.
Pretty much. It's resonated with enough like-minded right-wingers to give him a seat in congress.
Is your uncle Bernie?
lmfao no but "Uncle Bernie" is actually the nickname that our President-elect has
wait what?
like if an indigenous person is deemed too "western" they will lose their status as indigenous?
It means they've fully converted to Christianity. In his mind it means that they've fully submitted to Western culture and therefore should no longer be considered indigenous. The idea is to integrate them through religion but it's obviously a loose excuse to allow pencil genocide.
They probably mean losing their identity and forgetting their cultural roots
