  • She claims it changed a month ago but never said it’s over between us concretely, neither did I ask, so that’s on me.

    Dude… Just no. If she was done with the relationship it was her responsibility to inform you. Don’t gaslight yourself just because it’s hard to be upset with her.

    If you were in a relationship and she didn’t end it, and then proceeded to date someone else, that’s cheating.

    She could have just told you, she chose to go behind your back. And it’s not because she was scared of hurting you, if that was the case she wouldn’t have cheated on you.

    Good luck out there.







  • I just don’t care 🙌

    I seriously couldn’t give two fucks about supporting influencers or tech companies. Uploaders can pay for the infrastructure for all I care. Like people use to host websites out of passion, now everything is about profits, and politics, why would I want to support that? Why should I give two fucks about making someone else rich?

    Fuck that shit. You can get cracked copies of the YouTube App that give a much better experience.


  • The fact that they already have significantly better outcomes in terms of land stewardship compared to dominant groups.

    Generalizations suck. Over 80% of Canada is undeveloped. And just aside from that, our ecological issues are far greater then land stewardship.

    The fact that only those in a marginalized community will be able to effectively understand and create policy that addresses marginalization in meaningful ways.

    I don’t see how this is relevant.

    The fact that nearly every truly meaningful radical idea has already come out of marginalized groups, and will, by all available evidence, continue to do so.

    Oh really? EVERY truly meaningful radical idea has come out of marginalized groups? You’re telling me white people haven’t contributed at all? Seriously… That’s the position you’re taking.

    Ultimately my problem with everything you’re saying is it’s rooted in racism. I can’t support that shit.




  • The noble Savage trope is itself a racist trope that came out of colonial Europeans bigoted beliefs that indigenous could not possibly be civilized, and thus that any seemingly civilized points made by an indigenous person were actually made by Europeans as a critique of their own culture. Look into Kandiaronk and Lahontan. There is mountains of proof that not only did Kandiaronk exist, but that he directly participated in debates with the European governments that colonized the area he was from. There is Absolutely no evidence that any of what Kandiaronk said was anything other than his own words, yet the noble savage myth allows Europeans to claim that he couldn’t possibly have done so. So, no, I don’t think this is noble savage stuff, and I think the noble savage myth serves primarily to prevent meaningful critique from coming from outside of the dominant hierarchies by infantilizing indigenous people.

    Regardless of what Kamdiaronk said I don’t think it’s right to stereotype indigenous people right here right now.
