Obligatory “not all the leftists!” but you’re right. I guarantee nobody in this thread actually gives a shit about the plight in indigenous communities or has any interest in materialist change tackling the dearth of jobs and opportunities fueling rampant alcoholism and abuse. They don’t want to do anything good, they just want to guilt trip so they can feel superior
Nah, it’s about getting the sympathetic guilt of white leftists out in one day so they can still feel like good people.
They have to have the day be negative for that.
Celebrate and teach about actual Indigenous figures and history? Nah, you won’t find support for that here.
You’ll find support for reproducing the existing culture. “More of the same” they’ll say whilst claiming to be progressives… Progress to what? They don’t have the slightest clue, and refuse to think about it.

That’s a pretty miserable world view. What makes you think people here are so cynical?

I don’t understand who or what you’re arguing for or against.

They sound like an American with the progressive/indigenous wording. So they probably have no idea what they’re talking about.
