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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 71 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It was never about immigration.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months 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 30 points 3 months ago (11 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 11 points 3 months ago

Isn't that just Mormonism?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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 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.

[–] HisArmsOpen@crust.piefed.social 36 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] 14specks@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago

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

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 3 months ago

americunts.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

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

I mean, I would.

[–] Shamber@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months 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

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

America gets meaner and stupider by the day.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 19 points 3 months ago

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

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 months 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 7 points 3 months 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 3 months 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.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago

Terrorise brown people. It doesn't matter if they end up being released, they were locked up for 3 weeks, probably beaten up a couple of times - when they're released the jobs been done. For now, until it gets worse. It can always get worse.

I don't think you meant it that way, but there are many many lands that belong to American Indians, but are not federally recognized due to:

  • never having been ceded in a treaty
  • the US government outright breaking the treaty

I'm also down to go with "all the land is theirs regardless as the treaties were signed under duress".

[–] Vijfsnippervijf@feddit.nl 12 points 3 months ago

NAZI LIVES DO NOT MATTER!

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 12 points 3 months ago

"American" is right in the name!

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 9 points 3 months ago

Oh the fucking irony.

[–] Osan@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months 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 16 points 3 months ago

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

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

Everything becomes negotiable when they are willing to kill you.

This is totally onion stuff.

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.

The fascist don't follow the rules.

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

Remember kids, Molotovs are cheap and easy to make.

_White Americans, what? Nothing better to do?
