dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

It is sort of understandable that someone unfamiliar with landback but familiar with the fact that literally all the land in the Americas belonged to Native Americans would completely misinterpret what landback means of you dont specify that returning large amounts of public land is all that has to mean, and that it actually does not mean returning all of the stolen land. Also helps that one of the comments under this comment will be a picture of Hans Moleman from the Simpsons and "I was saying it"

Edit: oh somebody already posted it lmao

Returning public lands in the capitalist system would just mean that the corporations will strong arm the tribes to exploit the land unfortunately

This has actually happened before

Well, under our system the capitalists would do that even if the Native Americans got the whole continent. If the land gets taken over by a bunch of megalandlords we can help them overthrow that system if they ask for our help, same as anyone

Sounds like we need a better system.

A bunch of megalandlords have taken over the land right now, no one's overthrown them yet.

I checked out landback's youtube. Don't get me wrong, the existance of Mt. Rushmore is a slap in the face to anyone who holds the black hills sacred, and indigenous people generally. I just don't believe it's status will ever be change as long as the US government continues in its current form.

No yeah obviously we do, I'm just saying that the world's current system isnt a reason to keep the land in white hands
