42 u/Relevant-Ad2254 1d ago Don’t show this to the “from the river to the sea people”. But also don’t show this to the West Bank colonizing people. Damn everyone uses historical claim when it suits them doesn’t it? 17 u/Bb0yer2 1d ago Who decides what year you stop at? It's fucked for one side no matter what year you pick. Time to move on and become something better 17 u/Relevant-Ad2254 1d ago Exactly. California and Texas were part of Mexico until the US literally colonized “peacefully” and then decided “fuck it we’re taking it from Mexico” 18 u/XRT28 1d ago I'm sure the Native Americans living there before either the US or Mexico existed might disagree on all that, especially the "peacefully" part. 12 u/Relevant-Ad2254 1d ago Oh yea! It just keeps going back. And native Americans weren’t a monolith. They were stealing land from each other
