    it’s just ritualized white liberal guilt.

    Which was heavily used by BPoC groups as term. I for one favour it, still.

      Surprisingly, non-white people can also be libs. If every lib who participated in a land acknowledgment kicked in 20 bucks every time they did it, we could buy a chunk of land and actually give it back.

        I will answer with a 1h+ long podcast, reference the young lords again and a 280page book. While I agree that people can be libs even when they are in the central committee those seem to not've been libs. I appreciate the hot take of ppl pitching in when they say stuff, but no amount of wealth in real existing conditions would enable people to buy land and give it back. Those things were tried often and if they become more than sporadic will be opposed by the violence of the state.
