This was fully documented in the soviet archives too. Here's an article about it: https://archive.is/6afHk

You love to see it.

De-dollarization can't happen fast enough, as the dollar is one of the pillars of US power. Good thing countries are banding together to make it a priority.

You mean the power cost of a computer idling at home?

I have 5 computers (beelink and nuc servers) at home rn, each idles at ~6 watts. That's about 40 usd a year. One computer would be 8.5 usd per year.

This is the first post I've ever seen that's gotten twitter-style ratio'd. There are more comments than votes.

If you're able to code from a terminal, and care about longer battery life (my main concern when working from a coffee shop or elsewhere), I'd recommend getting a used android tablet, pry something from xiaomi or oneplus. You can find a decent model used for around that price with > 8 hour battery life easily.

Get a good stand, a solid bluetooth keyboard (logitech makes some great portable ones), and put termux on it (can probably handle light python locally).

If you need it to do CPU powerful tasks, use termux to remote into a VPS or your home server, and let a plugged in linux machine do the work so you can save your device's battery life. This is how I code at least.

Funny, when indigenous peoples from the americas asked that question, the US settlers just killed them.

Are you really doing a "reverse ethnic cleansing" rn? Lord free me from redditors.

where it is okay for one ethnic group to systemically displace another

Ah the old "reverse ethnic cleansing"... all you white supremacists are coming out to play.

The absolute gall of westerners whose ancestors literally did ethnic cleansing, to then yell that at their victims at the hint of returning stolen land back to indigenous sovereignty.

Step 1: Steal something.

Step 2: Give it to your kid.

Step 3: The kid whines finders keepers, and that they shouldn't have to give it back.

Diseases did not conquer hundreds of tribes. The history of the new world is a one of campaigns of war and conquest against indigenous peoples. The fact that many are ignorant of this history is part of the whitewashing project. I linked some audiobooks below so you can learn this history.

If the nazis won, they would teach you about the shoah in exactly the same way western nations teach you about the colonization of the americas.

Ah, my bad.

But nobody is talking about ethnic cleansing.

Reclaiming stolen land is not ethnic cleansing.

And also that much more territory should be transferred back to the reserves.

Correct and it leads to a simple question: If the tribal governments decide that all land claims and titles in the county upon which your house resides are null and void, they're beginning a land reclamation project, current title holders have no rights to the land, what are you going to do? Fight them? Claim ethnic cleansing? It's their land, not yours.

Spot on comrade.

But now it can be prevented and something can be done to stop it but world powers are sitting on their asses to fill their pockets. We should be learning from history not repeating it.

If you don't see how both of these western settler colonial projects are linked, then I'm sure you haven't learned from history. The fact that many westerners are equally ignorant is why we're repeating it in 2025.

The gaza strip, ie the current world concentration camp, is where israel and it's euro-amerikkkan allies have quardoned off 2 million palestinians.

Very few countries currently are based on native eviction, where settlers have nearly replaced the indigenous peoples. The US, canada, australia, new zealand, israel are the main ones.

I think it's projecting western colonial guilt to claim that all countries are equally based on indigenous eviction. Even colonial projects like Spain's in South America did not do to their indigenous peoples what the british did to north america.

Land back means the ownership of the land is returned; it does not mean the expulsion of non-indigenous people

Not up to you or me, that's up to the indigenous tribes themselves to decide.

That doesn't really make sense if you're not first-gen; there is nowhere to go "back" to, if you were born there.

Less than half an hour later, the finders keepers rule I talked about elsewhere in this thread gets invoked.

Maybe you should get off your armchair and go to a protest.

Extremely redditor behavior

You do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to javascript".

Love this quiz btw

Why do the brits always think they're allowed to draw lines on territory that doesn't belong to them, and evict native peoples.
