      Hate to break it to you, but a meme, by definition, is political propaganda.

      Yes, all those images you’ve been laughing at these years were part of a political project. They looove hiding in plain sight.

      That’s ok, this map of native American lands is definitely outdated. The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) lands are much smaller than it should be. As that’s the only tribal name I can actually read, I imagine it’s a similar story for the other tribes.

    Never forget? In some states it’s downright illegal to teach kids that complex, sophisticated and civilized societies existed here before white people showed up.

    But you and I did NOT. I see a lot of people online who can’t make the distinction.

    EDIT: Thanks for replies, all. Some good conversation here

      If you steal someone’s TV and give it to your kid, does that mean the person who it was stolen from shouldn’t get it back? Its the kid’s now???

    The genocide is still ongoing, they just don’t tell you about it. In Canada cops will flat out murder or disappear them right off the streets.

      If more than one entity massacred people, it means massacre is okay? Very strange logic. Do bad things have to be done by only one entity to be considered bad?
