    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.

    Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two conflicting ideas simultaneously.
