  • Hi there I am one of those people with over 20 years of direct action work on this topic and some of my best friends are Lakota, if they wanted me to leave with the rest of my settler kin I would honor that and keep fighting for revolution elsewhere God knows if I got sent back to Ireland or Wales I would have plenty work to do. You should think very hard about why you are so defensive about this.

    That said chances are if you actually put in the work and shut the fuck up about impracticality or whatever else excuse you use, you’d probably be allowed to stay. Hell my friends family invited me to a wedding out at Pine Ridge but sadly I could not afford the travel expenses to attend because my last trip out there to help them with the sun dance cost me a couple grand.

    In conclusion stop white-splaning land back it is not up to us what it means.

    Also to the point of “go to a protest” I would ask you to go to a reservation if they want your help and do something more meaningful than some toothless march.










  • Yes if they use AI the way the top suits who don’t understand it beyond the hype we are going to be in terrible (but sometimes hilarious) trouble in not that many years.

    For a personal example, I use Salesforce software at a large company that distributes health products and the CEO recently boasted about how “60% of their work uses chatGPT” and anyone who has used the software can tell you it is not a good thing. The base functionality of the software isn’t even anything groundbreaking, I also use another program called NAV that does basically all the same thing but it’s not in a web browser and it doesn’t look as flashy (looks a lot more like Windows 98 and I love it for that) but it is so much more useable. Nonetheless our upper management wants to migrate everything to salesforce because it is more integrated with the whole MS office suite.

    The only cool parts about this software were practically perfected by Chile’s cybersyn project in the 70s and fundamentally no different today.
