The idea that indigenous peoples should be subjugated and forcefully integrated by settlers is an inherently racial problem. This was just as true in Canada and the US as it was true in South America as it is in Palestine today.

From the Atlantic to the Pacific, the indigenous people of North America should be free.

That GFC study contradicts the many studies using both older datasets and newer datasets:

In science, we call this "cherrypicking data." Colloquially, we understand this to be because someone fucked their experimental validation. In the real world, we call this "disseminating misinformation."

global-scale data cannot reasonably represent changes in the regional land cover. Moreover, different studies may have different accuracies within the same region and even may reach opposite conclusions

Thing is, Canada has been looking inward. That's what makes it worse.

It's so absolutely insane how Canada is happy to tout reconciliation with First Nations people and simultaneously support the genocide of an indigenous people.

The videos are there for you to view and the statements are there for you to read.

You can agree or disagree with the conclusions, but the videos and statements are there.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free

Those children? Hamas

You're against genocide? That sounds antisemitic.

Israel's clamped down on more legitimate sources and is even trying to kick of Al Jazeera (which has consistently led in terms of accuracy in journalism).

American news isn't a good source for unbiased news either, but people still post it.

If you look at everything through the lens of Palestinians being subhuman, Israeli actions make more sense.

Imagine having to serve in the military to be able to afford college.

America is fucked.

Gazans have the right to revolution, just as the Americans, French, and Chinese did.

Condemning violence in revolution is akin to condemning the formation of these countries we have today. Palestinians have exhausted all other options.
