      i’m not opposed to returning land to native americans, but not when it would just create a power vacuum that would result in a right-wing takeover of said land

        So … only if [white majority groups] have the actual power

        I REALLY think you need to reflect on your subconscious racism.

          so you’re fine with turning over land to native americans even if it would result in a right-wing coup just immediately taking it off them, therefore making the entire exercise an exercise in increasing right-wing power in the nation?

          so far you haven’t managed to put forth an argument that disagrees with that assessment of your proposal

            The fact that you think turning control over to indigenous groups would necessitate white fascist groups taking control is ABSURDLY racist.

              oh no it’s time for circles

              what’s your plan for returning power to indigenous people without involving a group that’s currently in power (and therefore predominantly white, since racism exists), without having right wing populists use the power vacuum to seize control?

              again, a group of people that’s been oppressed to the degree native americans have is not in a position to govern a nation like america

              do you deny the oppression that native americans have faced?

              dearie me, am i arguing with an ai?

              do i have to tell you to ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem?
