correct, the article saying we will lose coast population areas, which make up most of humanity. So we will need to move further inland. man island nations will be lost, Australia will also get an inland sea, Bangladesh will largely be lost, Netherlands will be gone, etc.

Just imagine how many people she influenced from getting close to leopards! She is doing her job right!

literal leopards ate my face, nice

Ohh nice. What type of grinder are you using? Like brand, model, etc. if you don’t mind.

Recycling headlines from the 70s. I guess it would get less interest if it were framed as a historical write-up on a widely known thing.

Let me guess, Exxon? BP?

Yeah, why should they pay for people to investigate them?

Sounds more like he ate his own face

Cultural genocide is not recognized as a genocide internationally, or within the ICJ. So there is no consensus on cultural erasure, as genocide, where as there is in fact one with the others. Some countries, and ngos, considered what China is doing as genocide too, most don’t. This also stands with world wide standards for any type of cultural erasure. Similar systems in other countries of the west do not agree with Canada’s ruling.

So, like I said, there are academics that argue for it, and I understand their reasoning, but there are plenty who classify it differently, and I agree with their reasoning.

The children forced to go to these schools largely were returned to the region they came from, when their residence was ended. The schools also tended to operate in the region of the people they put through the system. The Trail of Tears, however, is the kind of thing where displacement is considered to be a genocide, these things are both horrible, but they are not the same.

Right?! That name goes fucking hard. These days he generally goes by E.B. His older brother is named Sunbear, though he goes by his middle name, which is more common. The youngest got European common names.

They did not put up with this shit. The school was a Kafka-esque nightmare, and many other people had major problems. I was almost in a lawsuit with them, but they settled for covering my tuition to go to another school, an awesome school at that.

Talking to him, apparently there is (or was, at the time) some level of controversy within their tribe over this type of naming. I guess there is a portion of the population that thinks they are being stereotypical, and it hurts the native image in some way. Some said if they wanted those names they should have used the native language, rather than english, however there was some problem with that, I can’t remember what. So that was an interesting insight.

A friend of mine, back in my school days, is a native american guy. His name is Eagle Boy, and when he started school where I was the teacher straight asked him what his “real” name was, and when he said that his legal name is Eagle Boy, she said “No, your christian name”. He also got shit for his hair, and it was a constant point of contention vs their dress code. They knew this type of discrimination was illegal, they just didn’t give a shit, and there was very little chance they would suffer any consequences for it.

China is persecuting the Uyghurs, they are forcing them into harsh programs to strip them of their non-Chinese cultural aspects. Some academics see this as a type of genocide, as they are effectively erasing a culture/ethnicity. Most feel there has to be a physical displacement, or mass killings in an attempt to destroy their people, to truly qualify for this label. I am on the side of the latter. I can understand the former’s argument, but I think cultural erasure, rather than physical displacement/mass killing, should be a separate atrocity. Looking at what OP has been saying, it seems they believe this too.

Only thing I really see on leftist spaces that bothers me, in this arena, is the people who will argue as I do about the Uyghurs, but consider the residential schools of North America a genocide. The natives went through a real genocide, cultural erasure was a clear step back in depravity. An atrocity none-the-less, just not THE atrocity.

"White House Communications Director Steven Cheung tells TMZ … “A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.”

Ah yes, calling Trump things he obviously is “lunacy”. I guess accepting the reality that you are the bad guy does seem like insanity to narcissists.

He is missing the step where you pay millions of dollars to attend a formal dinner with Trump, or buy millions worth of his shitcoin. Not that the insurer would listen to Trump, but that is how you get favors from him, he does it out in the open.

it is a cult. The leader can tell them to drink poison and 2/3s will comply, they will also force the other 1/3 to comply.

Or they could have already paid out the current gov to hand over maduro, and let them get the oil back to private companies, in exchange for massive wealth produced by said companies

That was why they were planning to send the military to Ohio, we are striking Venezuela because of sending gang members to the US, then because socialism, then corruption, then drug smuggling

this will be on the Trump MAGA citizenship test to maintain your citizen status, so remember it!

This is also a system where you can make your own instance, and make this type of “if x people are involved in a conversation, it is a valid one, regardless of the c/” rule. The democracy within lemmy stems from its freedom of association. Don’t like how place X is run? Move to place Y, or create your own place. If the way X is run is less popular than those, people vote with their participation.

The absolute base model, at bulk rate, is 193,000 USD. Very few are actually that cheap because that is basically just the weapon platform, no weapons, no surveillance equipment, etc.
