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 ones coming up with truly radical, meaningful, workable solutions will be from groups more marginalized than I.

Based on what?

Fuck… I never thought about indigenous Europeans. Does this mean Brexit was technically an anti-colonism movement?

Other people seem to have no issue understanding. I think my coconut comment was on point, and the fact that you responded referencing Luddites shows I’ve explained myself perfectly fine.

What specifically don’t you understand about me saying I think this is hypocritical?

we need to listen to these marginalized communities.

Dude… Why are you speaking as if you’re not indigenous now?

and that it is likely that even my best of ideas will be lacking in intersectional analysis that is needed to develop real, powerful solutions.

It turns out the solution to global warming was friendship all along 🌈

I think it’s hypocritical.

Then this is a good opportunity for you to check your confirmation bias. You and I both know you’re not replying to me with a coconut radio.

Dude… The VAST VAST VAST VAST VAST majority of indigenous aren’t out there “protecting lands”, and have no more connection to nature then you or I.

Nice casual racism though!

And that other 90% of humanity is working to industrialize to get where we are. It’s a massive issue that as far as I’m aware we have no solution to.

Seems like a scarecrow argument to me.

Probably because banning people based purely on political ideology is kind of facist 😝

We need to talk about your flair.
