#the absolute clownery

Land back is literally Nazi 'blood and soil' ideology. The idea that a certain people have a unique connection to the land of a certain region and are the only rightful rulers of it. Every group of 'indigenous' people killed or forced some other group of people off of that land they're on before they took over it. Everyone is a colonizer if you go back far enough. It's totally incoherent.

Posting this publicly so other people can see this too to confirm I'm not just going completely mad. Are y'all seeing this? Did someone really just roll up to my inbox and claim the Land Back movement is comparable to Nazi ideology? Am I making up this clownery?

Anyway, cite your sources. EVERY group is a bold claim. And even then, that doesn't excuse the atrocities committed unto them by the European colonizers, nor the devastation that said colonizers continue to bring upon the planet and Her people.

From an ecological standpoint, stewardship is crucial to many environments. Native humans have tended to the land, and when colonizers "settled" it, they disregarded any care that it may need and, through a mix of killing Natives off and forbidding them from lands they were on first, keept and still keep them from tending it and never bothered learning to tend it themselves. It's the major reason why the Australian wildfires were so devastating.

But we aren't looking at this from a purely ecological standpoint, are we? We're looking at it from a humanitarian perspective, too. When we show up where other people already are and violently remove them from where they've lived for countless generations, make them houseless, starve them, defile their sacred spaces, mass murder their main sources of food and fabric, forcibly convert them to our religions, separate them from their families, and punish them for speaking their own languages... is it right? Does the fact that some of these nations have warred with others in the past make this okay? Does that make this treatment justified? (I'd think this is a rhetorical question, but considering this anon showed up I feel the need to specify: the answer is OBVIOUSLY NOT.)

This is just the list that I, a white man in the US, came up with on the spot, and this is only about a few of the abuses committed by the US alone. There's a lot more to be added here. No people deserve such mistreatment and no people ever will.

The continued persecution of Native peoples around the world will not end until the rights to stewardship of lands they had stolen from them are acknowledged.

LAND BACK NOW

Edit: Whenever I come back to edit this, Tumblr deletes all my sources in that big block of atrocities, so I'm just posting them all here below. TW for racism, genocide, and...just about everything else.

My mom yelling at me to stand up for myself while the being the very reason why I struggle to do that is a special kind of hell circle I keep getting stuck in

Like ah yes, shoot down every thought, every opinion your child has ever had by pulling rank and constant insults/mockery for 20 something years and expect said child to suddenly have a voice

My guy, my dude, I wasn't allowed to have a voice amongst family what makes you think that I'll have the confidence to assume I have a voice amongst strangers???? Make it make sense???

If Thor's back tattoo says "Rest In Mischief", shouldn't the top part say "RIM LOKI"?

IT REALLY SHOULD

Warning: Sumeru 3.2 spoilers, swearing, like more than usual

“Lesser Lord Kusanali defeated the Balladeer?”

Fuck no, fuck that

Was she present for the fight?

Yes

Did she help with the fight?

Yes

But by no means was she the one to defeat the Balladeer!

The Traveler did, the Traveler was the one to defeat him.

She’s the one that took the electro gnosis after the fight, to help channel the knowledge of Sumeru into the Traveler.

Was she an important part of the fight?

Absolutely

But to give no credit to the Traveler at all is absolutely infuriating to me

And the fact that it was Tighnari that said it pisses me off even more

Fuck Sumeru

i am still soooo charmed by that one set of eyecatchers

[paarthursass]

to me the most clownish part of the whole "raphael having haarlep look like himself" thing is that haarlep looks noticeably YOUNGER than raphael. haarlep's raphael form has fewer wrinkles and a softer face. like.

idk if this is indicative of WHEN haarlep took on raphael's form, therefore implying that haarlep has been serving raphael for a long ass time, or just indicative of raphael being not just a freak, but a self-conscious one too, but good golly.

I saw the ice cream video where BDG tried to pick up a broken egg off the floor with his bare hands and he looked so sad and pathetic that I had to paint him

The idea that it is Bad and Terrible and you are a Bad Person when your stories involve real life events or are set during real life events, especially real life events that are most of a century ago, may be one of the weirdest and worst takes I have ever seen in my life.

[saltpepperbeard]

yes, but are you mentally ill and/or pirate-deprived enough to make gentlebeard in heroforge? 🫡

[dukeofdelirium]

just remembered an anon hate I got where the anon was like “reminder that mileven and zvtara are endgame and ended your ships!” in regards to me shipping byler and kataang… LMFAOOO

when I say seeing that message absolutely SENT me

it’s the way that they actually thought if they compared mileven to zutara, aka one of the most painfully fanon ships in existence, that they would somehow diss me 😭😂 as if zutara didn’t lose that ship war nearly 20 years ago horrendously

them in my inbox: hm. how can I own this tumblr user for being a byler shipper?

them: oh I’ve got it! I’ll compare mileven to zutara!

like as if kataang didn’t get married and have three (3) children together 💀
