1. So....

America dressed too slutty?

Of course it is stolen land-every inch of it.

13. Do you own a house?

Is it yours?

2. Ah yes. Manifest Destiny.

Established facts and such.

3. To the authors of this piece

FUCK OFF.

Imagine being lectured on colonialism and indigenous issues by a FUCKING libertarian crypto bro and real estate asshole. Uris Acquisitions! Go catch an infarction, Max, you fucking garbage bag. In a fire, preferably.

8. Well said...

4. Apologist red herring nonsense

In discussing ICE atrocities, no one is suggesting property title be transferred back to indigenous peoples.

Eilish’s comment merely provided context to confront the atrocities ICE brings to communities.

6. Billie Eilish's mansion

is located on land that is considered ancestral territory of the Tongva tribe.

7. Could it be argued that Native Americans were the original immigrants?

For instance, say a Tribe in Northern Wisconsin migrated there from Northern Michigan, fought and kicked out the Sioux nation ( who moved west). It is thought that said Tribe actually came from somewhere else to Michigan as well after similar circumstances.

Natives would migrate seasonally as well from winter to summer camps

Is it no different than European settlers who fled war famine etc?

9. I'm not buying what they are selling

Another attempt to whitewash our past transgressions by the privileged class.

10. Why did you post this?

[Mosby]

11. Because I live in the United States of America, not Turtle Island.

YMMV.

16. Well you ought to study a little history.

Nearly every treaty made by the United States and varying Indigenous peoples was broken by the US government. Land and resources stolen. Indigenous children were tortured in "Indian" schools, beaten so they'd stop speaking their languages.
European colonists- the Spanish less so, despite the Black Legend- routinely murdered elderly men and defenceless women and children. Oh and then took their land.

So I'm not sure what the fuck you think. But I'm going to take a guess that you already know all this.
