And now the president of the Navajo nation is MAGA. Oof
Source? I am finding nothing about Buu Nygren being MAGA.
Really? But how?
It’s mostly from people who see themselves as “one of the good ones” and sees trumpism as a license to behave however you want and treat others as lesser
i’m an american and i think i understand why this is the case. i’ll answer you in an edit here later when i have time but even americans get a little perplexed by the wide support trump sees from minority demographics.
it has to do with a large confluence of factors. these people aren’t stupid (well, anymore than the average person), and i just wanna say this early on in the discourse here.
international and domestic understanding of exactly what MAGA and trump are is woefully poor. everyone is content just tossing it all into easy little boxes that match their worldviews instead of understanding what is truly happening on the ground, in real life. the neofascists, neolibs, and leftists - worldwide - are all pretty generally guilty of this on the reg.
Just weird that they use being poor is the excuse for thinking billionaires have their back when them being poor is exactly why the billionaires have become billionaires.
I’m gonna have to say that either requires some heavy mental gymnastics to miss that connection if even a severe lack of even mediocre level intelligence to catch it.
Cuz if you question them on it they will double down on it.
Scalp the nazis
Ooooh, oooh, please don’t tell me is AI, I’m dreaming right now.
Edit: Talking about the native, not Elmo of course.
i wish the rock i’m living under was as impenetrable as yours 😄
What’s the problem witg my answer?
Muskrat did Nazi salute in public. It’s not AI and, uh, even I’m kinda suprised you don’t know it?
What has Musk to do with a native american?
Oops idk about that part then
Got it, I answered a commment with a video of Musk, instead of the op one.
It make it seems like I’m happy for Musk’s salute! 🤦
Have you never seen that clip before? Go on YouTube, search nazi elon salute, and pick a trusted news org
It has its own Wikipedia entry too.
Oh its real, and the full clip is worse (he turns around and does it again)
It’s true, I even found a clip from some black dude on the second story beside the stage. Full, clear view, they were pretty fucking surprised too, I’ll tell you.
I don’t think you watched the clip.
I Don’t see any clip
That person sent a clip of Elon musk doing the nazi salute with their comment. You responded with “please don’t let this be ai”
What I see is a native american scalping a nazi muppet, can’t see what Musk has to do with it
This goes hard
Native American here, we know.
If only the native Americans had a more successful immigration policy…
I love seeing historic pictures like this that speaks of different times and in no way shape or form have any relation to what’s happening nowadays so that we can look at how much further we have progressed from the past.
progressed from the past
And in some ways, regressed.
Kinda the joke I was going for there, yes.
Today snowflake conservatives would try to cancel him.
1940’s
1940s
I don’t think you understand. The year 1940 owns that photo. OP simply asked 1940 if they could post the picture on Lemmy.
Wait srsly? Bruh theys the years that belong to that decade. Gotta make that ish possessive
Whatever source your info came from is whack AS
theys the years that belong to that decade. Gotta make that ish possessive
I’ve never heard anyone defend this mistake with this reasoning, points for at least being funny
Ah, you mean like how we write “American’s” to represent the people that belong to the set of people from America… Or maybe it’s just a thing called “plural.”
ish ?
it’s forties, not forty-ish
I think “ish” here is replacing the word “shit”, it happens sometimes and I’m not sure where it comes from
this is very confusing
is this from a movie? is he an actor getting paid to do that?
why?
also, Crash Course is releasing a new series focusing on Native American History
why?
If somebody asks me for nazi scalps, I’m not asking why. But I’m definitely getting him some nazi scalps.
Souuunnnd goooood?
If somebody asks me for nazi scalps, I’m not asking why. But I’m definitely getting him some nazi scalps.
that’s what Russian soldiers do today. Putin asked for nazi “scalps”.
always ask why!
IDK but all the men in my family from this generation wanted to go kill Nazis. Funny thing was that the military wouldn’t let them. All of them were assigned to places in Washington State.
Imagine a bunch of Oglala men (that guy in the picture could very well be Lakota) being unable to fight in a war… The Oglala were the greatest warriors in the American Indian wars
At a guess Id say its probably for a rodeo. Can see stands in the background.
Exactly my thought. WTH?
Also:
Knowing Better on the Indian Removal - The history of Native Americans in the United States
watched the first hour and the last 20 minutes.
The presenter in the CrashCourse series says “we/us” when talking about native americans while the historian here talks, though masterfully and with compassion, about “them”.
it also helps to have 12 minute chapters instead of one big 150 minutes, that sadly keeps repeating the same things that happened over and over again to tribes :(
I love crash course too, they both have their pros can cons with their formatting (and scope)
I think Knowing Better is fantastic for a deep dive, especially on the topics of American History he covers. The chronological framework he has is great to understand the different periods of the removal, and how the methods shift over the decades, before tying it back to the present day issues.
His video on the history of slavery in America is also phenomenal
downloaded. will take a look
thanks
Putin next
F-to-the-fucking Hell yes.
Hell yes!!! America did Natives so dirty it’s embarrassing!
