mildly irritating that this woman locked her account so I can& #39;t respond directly to these tweets and now will look to the uninformed like I& #39;m rambling unprompted but I would be lying if I didn& #39;t see it coming
anyways it really is news to me that people use a theory of migration 12k years past as evidence that Native Americans don& #39;t have a right to their land, but seeing as the same argument is used against indigenous Europeans I don& #39;t find it too difficult to believe I guess
as a result people like this woman lean into the "we were always here" thing, much like people do when they argue against the OOA hypothesis in favor of parallel evolution (different races are rabbits and hares, or octopuses and squids, or....crabs)
this thread in particular has a fun postcolonial anti-science spin (not saying I& #39;m against it, if there& #39;s anything I& #39;ve learned since beginning to study human origins it& #39;s that science is a load of bullshit) but I still don& #39;t quite get why finders keepers isn& #39;t good enough
if the land was uninhabited, and you settled there, it& #39;s yours. if another extinct tribe was there 100k years before who cares. if you didn& #39;t evolve there who cares. being a settler doesn& #39;t mean your connection to your land isn& #39;t real
anyone who argues otherwise or tries to make comparisons to hostile takeover is a disingenuous retard and should be ignored
