@Elizafox actually no, they are still at QuadraNet, just hiding behind cloudflare now

@Elizafox 4chan moved to NForce because of US government concerns (Trump) I believe

@Elizafox

with that said, the amount of oversubscription profit means that they shouldn't have data caps on consumer internet.

and if they must, they should bill it 95th percentile like everyone else.

ironically there is a chain of marijuana dispensaries on the reservations around here called "Johnny Appleseed"

I wonder what the "white guilt" crowd makes of Allergan trying to rent sovereign immunity protection for their patents.

If you read what those "white guilt" people have to say, then you would assume that indigenous people have special needs and need coddling.

That indigenous people lack access to education (no more than white people), that indigenous people lack the ability to make money (again: no more than white people).

It is important to note that the people who stay on the reservation and try to preserve the historical ways are doing so by choice, and mostly could leave at any time. In fact, many youth who grow up on the various reservations do in fact wind up moving to the city.

I love when people whose avatars basically demonstrate that they are definitely not indigenous try to explain to me that I, as an indigenous person have no clue what I am talking about, especially when correcting their vitriolic and absurd messages because they're actually harmful to the cause.

Can somebody remind me why I unblocked anticapitalist.party?

There's a lot to unpack here in how off base you are, really.

1. DAPL was *not* going to go through sovereign indigenous land. It was going to affect downstream water supply, which is still a notable issue, see: https://inter-american-law-review.law.miami.edu/land-anyway-dakota-access-pipeline-protests-arent-oil/

"While DAPL does not actually cross the Standing Rock reservation land, it comes within a half mile of its borders. The pipeline runs almost entirely on private land, which limits federal jurisdiction to only 3% of the entire pipeline. Unlike natural gas pipelines, an oil pipeline requires no general or project level approval from the federal government."

2. Regardless of whether it was going to cross their land or not (it wasn't), "an act of international warfare from the US" is amazing vitriol. Tribes are recognized as basically being equivalent to independent states within the US, by various treaties.

3. American Thanksgiving is a white man's adoption of an Iroquois harvest holiday. I'm not really a fan of the holiday, but calling it "Genocide Holiday" seems entirely absurd.

For another day: a discussion about how non-white people observe views informed by white guilt as disingenuous.

@mooncake

I'm sorry, Tumblr is over there for white people who think they're doing us any favors.

@Gargron

right, it's basically similar to C++ in that regard. i am normally used to working with python classes, where self has to be explicit always :)
