Have any of the bystanders been charged? Doing nothing in a train car for 15 minutes while a white suppremacist murders an innocent Black man should be grounds for some kind of punishment.
Charge the bystanders, charge the murderers family, we can’t do eye for an eye anymore. We need to respond to every attack against Black people with seven times the force.
Because it’s their land and they and only they have the right to implement any rules against hunting on a societal level. Imagine you’re a Native American, the government has fucked you and your people over again and again, every treaty your tribe has ever signed has been violated, hunting is one of the few rights Native Americans have, it is literally the only way many native communities can put food on the table. Who has the right to take that away? Nobody who isn’t indigenous.
Yes from a vegan perspective allowing all forms of hunting is wrong, but exceptions have to be made for the extreme edge cases with people who come from heavily persecuted cultures that were semi nomadic in nature. To criticize a Native American for hunting is like criticizing a African American for being a business owner, like yeah the system they are perpetuating is wrong, but when systemically they have had no opportunity to grow wealth, you have to excuse bipoc people whenever they do become bourgeoisie, their class must be liquidated eventually, but under no circumstances should we seek out marginalized people first in the effort of dismantling capitalism. It’s better for leftist orgs to make inroads with gay black business owners than it is to make those same connections with rural white labor aristocrat.
When Native Americans are ready to end hunting they all are going to need to be at a level of wealth equal to or greater than the white settlers that inhabit their lands, I’m saying you can’t bring a people to communism if they had not yet even begun capitalism. The native Americans need their own capitalists, their own businesses, their own institutions. They need to go through the horrors of capitalism not as a subjugated people but as subjugators. They need to create capitalism in order to destroy it. Right now pretty much all bipoc people in the west are in a sort of semi-feudalism stage. We can’t just jump over the capitalism stage, the best we can do is speed it up as fast as possible so we don’t linger in it very long.
And that is a very long and mostly unrelated explanation as to why indigenous people must first abolish capitalism in order to ban hunting.
The issue here is not “does Mexico treat its indigenous population better than the United States?” (it does, Mexico is not doing good but they are better than the United States by a wide margin). The issue here is that the United States illegally stole land that rightfully belonged to Mexico and that in turn has caused irreparable harm to the Mexican nation and its people.
All of Turtle Island is stolen land, and while the United States and Mexico are colonial empires which naturally means they are aggressors and bad, the US did something unforgivable to Mexico, they broke the rules that colonial empires were supposed to abide by and stole the land that Mexico had legally settled and occupied for centuries. They deported Mexicans out of their own land, they invaded the Mexican capital, and they turned Mexico into a US puppet state.
The United States has done a national humiliation to Mexico, imagine how much more advanced Mexico would be if they held on to that territory. California alone would have made Mexico the dominant power on the continent, the factors that made Silicon Valley a thing probably would have still occurred and that would have made Mexico a technological power house. And I haven’t even talked about the possibility of Mexico just balkanizing and the US just not interfering, who’s to say that wouldn’t have resulted in the best possible outcome for the creation of communism?
As for Hoover dam. It’s way too big, it was designed for rainfall that will never exist again. So this dam basically acts as a giant barrier that prevents fish from reaching the ocean and wrecked havoc on the environment. I’m not saying dams are all bad but they have downsides and in an ideal world most fresh water would come from renewable sources powered by renewable energy and dams wouldn’t be included in that, hell even nuclear probably wouldn’t be included in that. But for the next 100 years we kind of need dams. But if we had to tear one down, Hoover dam is a great candidate.
It’s a fucking shame Vegas of all places has the best water management for cities in the south west. Nevada should be literally getting 0 of the water coming from the Colorado, the only people that should live there are native tribes and worker aristocracy to maintain the infrastructure for native tribes. Mexico should get full control over all the water on the Colorado, the land was literally stolen from them not that long in recent history. Also Hoover dam should be destroyed because dams aren’t good for the environment.
Not to be “that guy” but the bonus army thing was directly tied to an attempted fascist takeover of the United States by business interests. It’s literally called the business plot. Basically some very powerful businessmen tried getting a very popular war hero to overthrow the government, they offered him money, guns, power, everything. The war hero refused because he had some loyalty to the USA and reported it to congress, where he was laughed out and never taken seriously again.
The bonus army was supposed to have been armed with guns and stormed the White House, but the person capitalists were counting on bailed before they got the ball rolling. Like yeah those people were vets from ww1 who were there to get their bonuses, but like they also created the silver legion, so frankly I wished the us army fired a Gatling gun into that crowd and killed all of them.
Hasan’s bourgeoisie excesses are permissible so long as he continues corrupting the minds of the youth with communist propaganda. Give this man a yacht!
