    Why would you be cosplaying Columbo? Because of my pfp? That’s absurd. Surely Columbo would use logic instead of anti-indigenous capitalist propaganda.

      yes because of your pfp, why else? who doesn’t love columbo?

      i’m not using anti-indigenous capitalist propaganda

      attempting to reframe anything that’s been said so far as such is clearly arguing in bad faith, and frankly, really weird

        Why is it weird? Explain objectively, without appealing to the norms of the US system.

          because acknowledging that the native american population has been beaten down by the state repeatedly and for centuries isn’t anti-indigenous? because acknowledging that the native american population is a victim of systemic and at times systematic racism isn’t anti-indigenous?

          unless you would deny that they’ve been beaten down by the state repeatedly and for centuries?

            Yes, they have. And therefore should be re-empowered ASAP. It is YOU who appears to be arguing that they are not up to the task, not me.

              i’m saying they’re not up to the task without significant support from some hypothetical party backing them up

              i don’t know what party you’d put in that position if not the current government, and at that point it seems like we’re back to the start, no?

                So you’re saying they’re not up to the task unless some [white majority party] supports them?

                So again I say, YIKES

                  super weird that the abused aren’t in a position of power, and that the abusers are

                  yeah, the party in power is majority white, and yeah that’s because of historic racism, but that doesn’t change the scenario that we’re both looking at

                    Yeah so weird that you support white saviorism instead of returning control to indigenous groups.

                    It’s almost like you’re a liberal centrist.
