One particular thing about the Yankee “love” for indigenous people is that they effectively believe that indigenous people are dead or aren’t part of their country any more. That means they can go on and on about how much they care about indigenous history, say they want to protect indigenous landmarks but don’t ever talk about the currently living indigenous people fighting for their land and rights, or their many imprisoned comrades. This is true for other American settler states too.
This is why they’ll post black and white pictures of long dead leaders (challenge: have them name those leaders and their nations), but if you ask them about AIM or even living leaders like Peltier they’ll think you’re making things up. If Israel manages to somehow stablish themselves in the Middle-East to the level the the US did in North America (highly doubtful), they’ll celebrate “Palestinian Peoples’ Day” the exact same way.
Here I am, once again, to say the following
Fuck Mark Hamill utter useless piece of shit. Absolutely no independent thought in that head of his.
His Instagram post is FILLED with people calling him out, though. Say what you want about the media and the governments, but at least the majority of people seem to be on the right track this time.
Small fuckin mercies
I guess it’s better than the constant SLAVA UKRAINI thing. Plus with this much outrage it may be easier to set up counter protests.
the shared story of America
Indigenous heroes are not and would not want to be part of your colonizer history. It’s more offensive to call them “American” than to not honor them with a holiday.
Amerikkka is great at incorporating the people who operated in spite of its genocidal empire into its national mythmaking. It’s insidious as fuck and I hate it here.
Mark Hamill found the true jedi way, having all the opinions at once
Fallen to the dark side, he did.
The empire has citizens too ya know, you can’t support the rebellion, since they’re terrorists.

Not so fun fact: Native Americans make up less than 3% of the US population. And that counts people with Native American heritage (like white people who are 1/8 Cherokee and tout that as them being “POC”). That ain’t a Shared History, that’s oppression and domination followed by decades of humiliation and discrimination.
Mark no
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time he’s done something like this. He has also shown support for the Ukraine war and did some weird zoom call with Ukrainian soldiers, in the background of the soldiers was the blood and soil flag bare for everyone to see. I can find a screenshot if you’d like.
He’s like the liberal poster boy how is anybody surprised by this.
Guess he didn’t really understand the themes in the OT
Ewoks shouldn’t have fought back, they should’ve led peaceful protests to vote the Emperor out.
Ewoks were just as bad we can condemn both sides!!
Unlimited Yub-Yub on the core planets.
Ackshually the Israelis are the indigenous people
Yup, I’m pretty sure tons of liberals believe this completely uncritically and don’t even think about it
It’s not even correct according to their holy texts, they straight up brag about conquering the land and murdering its inhabitants.
Not a nation of immigrants, but of colonizers / ppl who answered resoundingly yes to the following question: “want some free land, all you gotta do is kill some Natives ppls for it?”
Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two conflicting ideas simultaneously.
Is this from Spec-ops: the line? hell yea. I love when the loading messages stopped being gameplay tips and became aggressive at the player
To Americans liberals its easy to “support” and “love” indigenous peoples, because they never could posse an existential threat to white landownership of the continent. Radlibs and libs will love you as long you are defanged and dying.
Sir, please stand against the wall with the rest.
Same energy as holding a BLM and ThinBlueLine flag at the same time.
Suck my fucking dick mark
Doing a raindance so Mark Hamill wakes up to a burning bag of poo on his front door
