It reads to me like he’s saying he doesn’t support returning land to natives, but he supports benevolently managing their affairs on their behalf. Repugnant, but not surprising from him.

I mean I get the whole “policy over slogans” argument, but like go talk to American Indians, they literally just want their fucking land back. It’s one of the few times where the policy asks aren’t actually that complicated.

Dude is basically a classic american chauvinist. these patsoc doofuses have latched onto some random NGO called Landback (thus the trademark) that apparently got some funding from amazon.

what he fails to understand because of his chauvinism is that we Indigenous ppl have been using the phrase for centuries and some random NGO doesn’t represent us or the slogan. if he actually knew or spoke any Indig ppl he would know this. but he commits the classic doofus error of coming up with his own interpretation of Mao’s Mass Line theory but clearly has never actually done it himself cuz they’re a petty bourg armchair propagandist that doesn’t want to see their powerbase tied to private property chipped away

Lmao Settlers needs to be required reading for every white person my fucking god

Is he stupid?

He’s basically using a twisted version of the “land stewardship” argument (that somehow the benevolent white settlers of course are the ones who will actually treat the land right rather than sell it to big corpo like… the white settlers have always done), and using (in entirely bad faith) some NGO as an example with which to completely dismiss indigenous land claims (and sovereignty which is inherently tied to land- seriously, this whole post is bullshit) that have existed for centuries prior to NGO grifting even being a thing.

Crackerism of this level, and which co-opts this kind of leftist jargon, is especially dangerous IMO…

This is like disavowing BLM, in the rationale that it would be better for Black-American community to do so, in order to get attention to Police Brutality

Utterly incoherent, at best, and at worst, purposely throwing the revolutionary baby from its bathtub…

Edit: advocating on their behalf and recuperating/co-opting their political leadership into the settler framework…? Boy, the Bureau of Indian Affairs did not do good for them, last time I heard…

“We don’t need systemic ideas and solutions, just individual action”, sounds like anarchism.

So it sounds like the spirit of what this person is saying is, if somebody bad were to use the phrase “don’t do genocide”, then we should go consult people being genocided and ask them if it’s okay to say “don’t do genocide” because it’s not really clear if it’s the right thing to say, since somebody bad used it. 🫠

This Indian says he can fuck right off.

You know, that’s fine and all; but if you went to the one closest to me and tried to pull “individual action” and start politically organizing as a white person the Rez police will probably just beat the shit out of you and drop you off at the border.

Turns out most of the communities just want you to fuck off entirely unless you’re there to buy something or contribute to their community. Advocating for them is good. Running over there to play political missionary isn’t. In a lot of political situations, there are advocate groups or similar (AIM) that are meant for collective struggle and will work with your organization or group if you want to support. This dude is just tryna get people shot.

Also this guy is acting like we can’t just “go there and talk to them” already. There are a few native americans…you can go meet one online without doing stupid shit on their land.

Common “leftist” action of tryin to make a new organization instead of working within already existing ones.
