I'm saying a mod calling for checks notes assimilation of indigenous people(with all of its history and baggage) on hexbear.net calls for demodding at best and banning at worst.
Sure, I agree. But a mod calling for cultural assimilation of indigenous people is not a good look and should not get a pass just cause they're vegan and a mod.
Context and intent is important. Saying it in response to someone calling out someone else for mass re education of indigenous people and all the baggage associated with it and hand waving it away by saying "they'll just assimilate" is chauvinistic af.
I want to credit the mod/admin team for making this site a welcoming place for many marginalized peoples since its inception. But when indigenous comrades are leaving the site in droves I think there's something really wrong. I know modding is a thankless job and I don't want to add to y'alls burden but I feel more needs to be done to make this site a safe space for our indigenous comrades.
What is there to struggle about this except absolute criticism? Is there anything or anyone to defend it?
Edit: or are you saying cultural genocide is a topic for strugglesesh on a socialist website?

Here is them antagonizing an indigenous comrade.
Animal liberation is the goal, any culture - whether it’s indigenous or not - will assimilate and evolve as culture always has
