Who is saying this? Why frame the question with the United States specifically? Judging from the bullshit discourse on raddle this past week, I feel like most of the commotion was a result of some folks misrepresenting entire conversations. Somehow reparations became a stand-in for an ethnostate and cops. Am I missing something here??

I was dunking on circle a over this very issue. I wasn't talking about the ethnostate or anything. Just saying that reparations as a strategy suck was why I got banned. Don't lump me in with the people who I vehemently disagree with who have completely different opinions with me.

How does taking back what was taken, by whatever means, suddenly transform into a state building excercise? How is reclaiming what was once lost a bad thing

Wrf, I said I would support it at least one time in this post. Said that I support it in dms. Said I support it 2 other times in comments. How many times do I have to say I support indigenous people getting subsidies if they are available for u to believe me? Is 5 the lucky number?

. All I see is another twisted ideology being used in defense of white supremacy

I fucking hate those pieces of shit on Reddit. I literally don't agree with them. I complained about how advocating for land back and reparations for all indigenous was a sucky idea, which promotes viewing the issue through a settler mindset and proposed a vastly better way of helping indigenous people. "Talk to them as individuals and come up with unique solutions which cater to the uniqueness of being oppressed as indigenous people and benefits such as locations, time, social groups.

he land lottery is fantasy, but one that scares the white settler

I would be very happy if the US decided to give land back to natives. Though we both agree there is no way in hell the US will do it.

The oppressed need not permission to take back from the oppressor, through negotiations or otherwise. Fuck settler approval. Is that not anarchy enough?

This is exactly what I'm arguing. In my discussion I got banned over the person was arguing for indigenous people improving their material conditions by convincing their settler oppressors to oppress them less. I told them why I though their ideas suck and why I don't take them seriously and I got banned.

This feels like I say something U then say I vehemently disagree say. No this is what is true then copy paste what I had said initially. Like I literally said twice to u that I think a better solution is literally just stealing from settlers. How tf is that not screaming that the oppressed don't need to ask.

I also don't understand how me not liking the strategy of an oppressed group begging to their oppressors to oppreaw them less and then suggesting a far better strategy is just to take what they need to survive and try to build their own autonomy as the state won't help them.

Like did u even read what I wrote? It just sounds like u are responding to the dipshits who I don't like and disagree with rather than what I'm saying.
