Yeah of course that was bad wording I just didnt know how else to say it like. "Back when we were doing literal wars about it" is what I meant.

Also the Zapatista uprising was 30 years ago. And land defense actions that are met with violence from settler state security forces have been continuous across turtle island for at least the last decade (probably longer that's just what I'm aware of).
