Ope, can’t say “I didn’t vote for this” because that’s an annoying cliche too. I’m guessing you helped bury those Inuit kids under that schoolyard since you’re Canadian and you all think that same like all Americans do
JFK, yeah, excellent example: the whole point of the reconciliation process is recognizing that there is collective responsibility beyond individual actions.
I didn’t direct the genocide, but fucking rights I benefit as a settler, and repairing that involves both compensation and recognition of the existence of those benefits. It’s an ongoing struggle here as a lot of immature thinking still exists, crying about “it wasn’t me, stop blaming” while eating the fruits of colonialism every breathing moment.
Greenlanders don’t own land. They don’t have this individualism problem very much.
I’m all for reconciliation, and trying to make things better even if you didn’t participate in the colonialism. That is a good thing to do and something I try to do on my own life.
We’re not talking about that in this thread.
We’re talking about collective blame for the actions of others. If your government does something that’s amoral, and even if you’re trying to stop it, it does it anyway, are you copable?
Reconciliation says that even if you didn’t do the things, if you benefit from it, it’s your responsibility to try to fix it. That’s not what people are advocating for, they are gleefully saying people deserve to have a boot on their neck just because they happen to live in this country.
Doesn’t matter if you’re under the boot or wearing it, you’re all the same so you all deserve it, right? You Canadians voted for it and allowed it to happen.
Oh wait that’s a shitty take? Maybe reconsider using it on others.
Get fucked, we both know you wont be doing shit and will keep hiding behind your computer when he makes is move on Greenland and Canada. As long as Amazon will keep delivering them crap made in China, americans will be all words and no act.

Yeah lol, about that, let’s ask my Attikamek mom about her time in a residency school.
