fun fact.
The US army gave people ammunition for free if it was used to kill bison for a period of time.
Bison almost went extinct.
Bison were a source of food for the natives.
I love american history!
The official reason was the Bison herds were capable of destroying the fields of entire farms. We never stopped to ask if we should have been farming there in the first place.
I think they did stop to ask, and the answer they gave themselves was “yes”.
were bison known for like, destroying fences or something? Or did we just not think of building fences lmao.
Farmers don’t usually fence in their fields. You’re thinking of live stock farming.
history goes a little wacky
It’s just greed. They throw in god’s name to relieve themselves of any personal responsibility.
The notion of a “promised land” is a lie humans tell to themselves to monopolise the resources we all share with all living things.
It also doesn’t make much sense in the particular context considering on a genetic level Palestinians are as Semitic as modern Ashkenazi jews. And it doesn’t make much sense from a religious stand point because modern Judaism differs from ancient Judaism by about the same amount as Christianity or Islam does. Modern Judaism just has this dogma that Ancient Judaism was secretly observing their form of it even though if we don’t take them at their word there isn’t a lot of evidence of that.
So from a religious standpoint it doesn’t make a lot of sense. And from an ethnic standpoint it makes even less sense.
And also we don’t let Europeans say “these are our ethnic lands” without calling them racist. So then why would we let people who are like 2% ethnic ancient jewish retroactively claim ethnic ownership of some land without calling them racist? They will claim it’s not about race and about religion. Ok, which is worse, a group of highly militant ethno-nationalists, or a group of highly militant theo-nationalists? Zionists are always one of two bad things and they will use arguments to play wackamole about which one to deflect the claims of one. Apparently if you are two bad things at once and it is unclear if you are both or just one of those things you get unlimited license to be both of those bad things.
Ok. Native here. Get out, both of you.
The number of “100% native” people in the U.S. is likely 0. The idea of people leaving if they weren’t from here goes back forever, everywhere. Eventually it’s just a debate of if we are all from Africa or not.
“Go back to being a neanderthal dweeb!”
… Sadly, acceptance and growth are harder than resentment. And most of the time we resent the wrong people.
Go back to Ireland/Scotland? Sure. I need to bring news of what fun things Americans can do with potatoes back to the homeland anyways.
It’s kind of disingenuous.
It portrays Orthodox Jewishness as being responsible for genocidal Zionism when Orthodox Jewishness has pretty much always been vehemently critical of both Zionism and the creation of Israel.
The Jewish Zionists that perpetrated the Nakba looked no different than their fellow Europeans.
forgot about that and i think it was to help protect my psyche because that was the first time i learned that my vote was suppressed in arizona. lol
