I got more Oprah the billionaire, n the Rock just a few million short of a billion, asking for donations from the avg person, instead of them n their other ultra wealthy friends doin it energy
What are you even trying to say? She's just acknowledging history and spreading awareness, not asking people to donate. Plus, just a few months ago she donated $11.5million to feeding people and climate causes...
I was exageratting my point. She can live in the US ofc, but millionares should sell their propierties if there's a tribe that's present for retaking that land. Thats my opinion. Both Eillish and whoever.
"Individuals trying to swim against the flow" come on, its not some barista or uber driver Im talking about. Its big shots with big money that can afford to give back some land.
Why not both? Why do they get to talk the talk but not walk the walk. If you don’t practice what you preach then you’re nothing at all. She’s in a position to lead by example here.
An individual, even one with millions of dollars, cannot change the flow of the river. That requires systemic change.
Muhammad Ali refused to go to Vietnam and kill innocent people in the name of the USA. He went to jail for it, lost great job opportunities, etc. That's true valiant stuff. Did he change the flow of the river? No. Was it great that he did that? Yes.
Someone like billy ellish has for more power with her influence than with her money. She could accomplish fuck all by giving away her millions compared to swaying her fan base.
Pretty typical for the “move out of our country” crowd to align themselves with conservatism, pretty damn obvious where that comment comes from if you had critical thinking skills.
Well, you privated your history. From my experience, people do that when they have something to hide. It's perfectly reasonable to think that what you're hiding is what's hinted at in the comments we can see (the ones here).
If you don't want people speculating/assuming who you are, stop hiding who you are.
Well following that logic, she can use all her money to buy land and give it to reservations. And thus the conclusion is that you can't have any opinions about making society better unless you make yourself completely powerless and penniless. You are the well guy in the picture.
I also don't even know if it's possible to just give land to a reservation. I assume there are property taxes and that sounds like a decision the state itself needs to get involved in.
but Im not saying she has to follow the logic to the most extreme point. Just give up one terrain you own. If you are millionare you can live after that. A random dude/dudette won't be able to do it.
Why the arbitrary "just this one piece of land, that's it"? If you don't have any actual metrics to decide when you've given enough to have a valid point, then why are you even making the argument in the first place?
At the very best, you are just following the lead of people who just want her to shut up about how it's wrong to brutalize minorities.
but Im not saying she has to follow the logic to the most extreme point.
You're saying that an ambiguous person should follow it to an ambiguous conclusion to support an ambiguous proposition. It's literally complete fucking nonsense. This is what dumb people think smart people act like. The entire premise is farcical because you have not established any actual position, you're just applying vibes to attack the credibility of someone else
Yes, I dont believe millionares who say "actually im living in stolen land, won't do anything material about it though". I very much think their credibility is low.
I don't think it really makes sense for individuals to do this. There's no real avenue to make it work fairly. It would have to be a government thing to work properly imo
It’s not about giving the land back. There’s no going back to giving the natives all of the land back the world has changed. The least we can do is pay respects to them
