It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Arg11: "LandBack = Ethnostates". Lol not at all. Ex. McGirt v. Oklahoma: SCOTUS ruled that 43% of Oklahoma, including Tulsa city, was Indian territory with tribal court jurisdiction. But afterwards, no mass White deportation happened. All people just had to follow Indian law
I don't quite understand, are they implying that this is an adequate form of 'landback'?
Decolonisation rarely argues for all descendants of colonists to be deported. Now, the ruling was hardly adequate, but it is an example to show that decolonisation =/ ethnostates.
Agr5: "#NoDAPL protests were bad since Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL) would’ve wrecked Warren Buffet’s oil train line transport". They argue that sacrificing the Lakota people’s drinking water/survival is okay to wreck Buffet’s oil train company, only 1 of 12 companies he owns
:what-the-hell:
How is an oil pipeline (controlled by a different capitalist) supposed to be a good thing?
Fewer dependencies on the Middle East, leading to less war there? I'm reaching here.
The US being self suffiecent in fossil fuels won't change the interest in controlling oil supply elsewhere in order to be able to control pricing. The US is already is a net exporter.
I think it is mostly just the crew trying to reach for reasons that native americans are reactionary so they can ignore their concerns looking at the rest of the thread:
"Bolivian Inds don’t believe in 'electricity or running water'". Maupin refrences the 2011 TIPNIS protests against a highway through the TIPNIS protected reserve/National Park of the Chimáne, Yuracaré, Moxeño-Trinitario nations, not against “electricity or running water”
Native americans are painted as being against growth and development. If you disagree with getting your water supply critically endangered by capitalists trying to do a growth, you're a reactionary. Or worse, you are a paid stooge for whomever might stand to lose from letting capitalists endanger your water supply.
