    You speak for all of them?

    You’re their european-colonizer assigned “Indian Agent”?

    …you assume too much and understand too little. Talk less and learn to listen/read more.

      You were just speaking for the whole yourself calling well established tribal goals mere “shiny tokens”. Which is incredibly disrespectful and infatalizing. Like I said colonizer behavior.

      I think we can both agree there’s plenty of change that needs to happen, but I’ll never understand the desire you have to worsen the conditions of the oppressed to serve your rhetoric

        You were focused on it, not i. You assume I’m talking about people when I say shiny tokens because I guess you do think of them as tokens. That’s not what I said, but regardless. Forgive me for that choice of words and talk about the genocide.

        You support the genocide overseen and enabled by Democrats under Biden and Harris? If not, why are you so offended by people criticizing your preferred political party? Do you approach politics like a team sport or something like most USians?

          And you told me to read more? Re-read my statements. I was clearly pointing out how you call tribal goals “shiny tokens”. Which very clearly implies that you believe the goals of these tribal governments are trivial and that they don’t know better. You are using a colonizer mindset to trivialize the goals of Native peoples because you think you know what’s best for them. It’s disgusting

            I like how you avoid answering the actual questions. Answer the questions I asked after apologizing to your sensitive soul or stop replying and go be angry at someone else.

              Don’t like it when I refuse your pivot and point out how you don’t actually care about minorities eh?

                No, I just don’t feel like wasting time butting heads for the sake of killing time at the moment.

                Youre not in the mood to stay objective. We’re wasting each other’s time. Have a good evening.
