@demha @7666 I'm coming at it from the standpoint that pro immigrant us and canadian progressives have an incoherent set of beliefs, not a generic anti immigrant policy. they should dump land acknowledgements, because they're stupid virtue signaling that they don't actually believe.

there are some arguments I could make for why me in japan is different (like the Yamato are the indigenous people in japan so they could invite whomever they wish) but I admit that they're rationalizations haha.

@sun @7666 @demha
it's not quite the same thing, don't think. north-meri natives were (mostly) forced out of places with guns. true "land acknowledgements" generally come from people who can't even pronounce tribe's names though, and personal unpopular (and never going to happen) opinion, yeh, is "just make everyone citizens with equal rights and have the emotional-interest-vested lands be national parks". then there would be arguments about who's allowed to use what national park resources, but letting some tribe in oregon fish for religious reasons and nobody else is as stupid as making "religious freedom" carveouts for christians. (let people grow their own peyote though, dumb drug war
