despite both groups only having that place to claim as a homeland.

Your claim isn't even close to the magnitude of their claim. They've been here for over ten thousand years. They. Own. This. Continent. And. Always. Will.

And again, we displaced them. We are the colonizing class. I am calling for the reversing of what was done to them, which necessarily includes giving them back control over the land. I'm not saying they should displace anyone, but they alone have the choice.

Instead of complaining that indigenous people don't have the right to remove you, maybe you should focus on contributing to decolonization so they have a reason to let you stay.

The vast majority of "Israelis" are 100% European whose ancestors converted to Judaism.

There's a reason Israel bans DNA tests. They want to keep up the illusion that they're still descendants of the people the Torah talked about.

I have no right to say what they should do and neither do you.

I didn't?

That's supposed to make it better?

Not the indigenous people's problem. If they tell you to leave, it'll be up to you to figure it out.

I'm not saying that I'd necessarily agree with the expulsion of all settlers, but I'm saying it's not my place to pass judgment and if they tell me to leave, it's definitely not my place to argue why I have a right to this stolen land.

The “righting” of historical wrongs is not necessary for this

Yes it is. Some things are unforgivable and must be made right in its entirety. The people who benefited from that wrong, myself included, have absolutely zero right to comment on what that should entail.

Tell me you don't understand what "large government" or "central government" means without telling me you don't know what they mean.

Foul play suspected, no real implications on the safety of the 787

This is an extremely white washed version of land back. Pretty sure land back means full control over what happens on that land, including what kind of people can live on it, something that is currently controlled exclusively by the colonial government.

If they're feeling generous they might give you the option to stay on the condition that you assimilate into their culture.

You know, the thing Europeans forced Indigenous peoples to do. Not saying settlers should be forced through violence to do so, but I think it's more than fair that if you're going to stay, you have to assimilate.

But you're not entitled to even assimilation if they just don't want you here. And they have plenty of reason not to want you here.

I know that as a 1st gen Chinese immigrant to Canada (I came here as a kid so wasn't my choice), if all the Indigenous groups where I live unambiguously told me to GTFO. I would in good conscience have to do so and hope I can use my birth certificate to reclaim Chinese citizenship. I'm by every definition a settler so it's only fair. Whatever struggles I have in China (namely language barrier since I can barely read Chinese) I will have to deal with and it's not on the Indigenous people to let me stay just because I can't survive anywhere else.

Where you go back to and what happens to you isn't the problem of the people you colonized. And by transferring that problem on to them, you are in fact perpetuating colonialism.

Do you think that some far-away land with a different culture, that hates immigrants, would accept someone in just because of blood relation?

That's not the Indigenous peoples' problem. They might even think it's poetic justice for how European culture treated them. Europe, for its part, also has no right to complain about the influx of North Americans because they started this whole thing.

Anything really polarizing can end up with a cult following. Just look at Rust.

The US is THE state sponsor of terrorism.

Not saying other countries have never done it, but the US has done it more than everyone else combined and pioneered many of the now "standard" tactics.

People would be less mad if you straight up used a stock image with a watermark so I don't understand why people go out of their way to use AI when they know people will comment on it and it will detract from the point of the article.

Also, using AI in the thumbnail makes people automatically assume you're using AI in the text as well. And if you're not doing that, why would you lessen the perceived value of your writing by making it seem like you are?

It just seems pointless and actively harms your actual goals because people will get hung up on the fact that you used AI and ignore your actual valid points. Especially when you're writing about open source projects when most people interested in open source are vehemently anti-AI, it really just shows you don't know your target audience.

Once I was crossing a signalised intersection in Canada while the pedestrian light was on, and some jackass turning left on red (which is the most illegal way to run a red light btw) almost hit me and had to slam on the brakes, but what shocked me the most was that the driver behind them, also intending to turn left on red, fucking honked at the first driver for having the audacity to stop and get in their way instead of running me over.

I've also had multiple instances where I was about to cross an uncontrolled intersection and a driver (who's usually speeding to the point where I could tell with just my eyes) honks at me to get back on the sidewalk because they don't intend on stopping for me when the laws require them to. Also seen drivers turning right on red (which is legal here in BC for some reason) honking at pedestrians crossing with the light and demanding to go first when the laws say you're definitely supposed to wait until the cross walk clears.

This is why I hate drivers. They call cyclists and pedestrians entitled while doing shit like this.

We get it, you figured out how to use inspect element.

By that logic, they should euthanize the C suite when they retire.

Both US parties should be parallel to Nazi

I like testing my helper/utility functions mainly so I can be sure I implemented them correctly. That way I can focus on my main implementation and narrow down where the problems are coming from.
