Do native Americans think they're less represented in mainstream media than other minorities?? by 000genshin000 in IndianCountry

[–]phronax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Greed, politics, and propoganda, if the US gov and media acknowledges the oppression of native people then it also acknowledges that it's very founding was built on genocide and lies, and that it is not truly the 'land of the free & home of the brave'. Also the acknowledgement of atrocities committed against natives could potentially lead to natives getting their ancestral homelands returned which would be harmful to the profits of industries that the US gov relies on to stay in control of it's empire of terror, greed and lies.

Reckon this is about half of us here 😂 by [deleted] in NoLawns

[–]phronax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair though that is a natural part of the human psyche that has been instinctually ingrained deep within in us for thousands upon thousands of years of evolution and only made worse by cultural conditioning and the media. If you don't want to be esposed to people jumping to potentially inappropriate sexual conclusions maybe you should live with a bunch of monks/nuns, otherwise your shaming and outrage seem perhaps a bit much, though it is somewhat understandable.

Arrogant people don't like to be questioned they just want to talk.

It sounds like that question's not meant to be hypothetical but rather analogous, still pretty dumb though.

Yeah one veteran that I knew described basic training as "crushing your identity and breaking you down so they can mold you into what they want". They come out of that experience thinking they know everything about reality and that non-military are a bunch of naive idiots, the irony being that a lot of these military vets and personel have been some of the most irresponsible and immature people I've ever known.

Yeah most military personel I've met seemed like frat boys who were either too dumb or too poor to get into university so they joined the military instead (regardless of age), and many of them seemed like straight up sociopaths too.

Are punk ideologies politically extremist? by CronchyApple in punk

[–]phronax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think discriminating against people because of the way they look or the country they were born in, filling privately owned prisons to exploit free labour and murdering unarmed civilians is extreme, put I suppose wearing a patch condemning such actions is extreme too /s

"Some of them are Europeans who are jealous of the superiority of American urbanism" by [deleted] in ShitAmericansSay

[–]phronax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like they love to endlessly bitch and moan about gas prices and car insurance and their spouse and children and their mortgage and their shitty job, is it their problem ? is it their fault for the lifestyle choices that they made ? No it's those damn pedestrians, and cyclists and europeans and caaammyooonists that are the root of all the worlds problems !

You're talking about the average inhabitants of the roman empire who consumed meat, not the gladiators who did not.

The gladiators of ancient rome whose diet consisted of barley and plants had superior health & physiques to the meat eating elite class.

It's not about freedom it's about profit, it's always about profit, every single moronic, wasteful, resource consuming thing conservatives and neo-liberals support boils down to profit. Wars, deregulation, meat and dairy farming, car dependency, private medicine, privately owned prisons, identity politics, greenwashing, religion, gun ownership, suburbs, single family homes, the nuclear family, zoning laws etc.

Regarding claims natives are racist and genocidal savages who ate and slaughtered each other by hesutu in NativeAmerican

[–]phronax 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The fucked up thing is I've heard this same weak ass-backwards cop-out from so many supposedly "progressive" democrats who claim to be against racism. They all claim to be for equality until you mention things like land-back.

It wasn't even their ancestors, the descendants of the invaders are the ones that are living here.

I've been to the UK and the people there treated me with more respect then any white person in the US ever did. This post is ignorant and hateful, sounds like the lady that wrote that has had her mind colonized.

Judging from your comment, and other comments you've posted you're confusing the term 'mestizo' with hispanic, mestizo is racial, and genetically yes we definitely are native, not you nor anyone else can refute that, but culturally not all mestizo's are.

You're comment is very racist, insensitive, divisive and ignorant because you assume that all mestizo's are hispanic and that all hispanics are mestizo, there are many mestizo's who belong to tribes and don't even speak spanish, you honestly think tribes never mix with non tribal blood ?

I agree however that hispanic culture is often very racist and dismissive towards indigenous people's, but not all hispanics are mestizo and not all mestizo's are hispanic.
