I demand reparations, the two camp doctrine ruined lives!

nevaaah

@R9b1t it really is different

Hey, man, do what you need to do to clear your conscience. Just know that the victims will never be satisfied.

Last residential school closed in 1990

It is very different from indignities between warring sovereigns

I can create closure in a second:

"You live in a nation with one of the highest living standards and have one of the most costly social systems in the world at your disposal.

You are welcome. Now buzz off."

@Undead Mockingbird that system was explicitly not at their disposal

(in Canada)

I detect a past tense.

>it doesn't matter if I abused you as a child, that was in the past

there were all sorts of nitpicks in legislation to trick people into accidentally becoming disenfranchised by interacting with broader Canadian society.

>be happy you aren't abused now

Seriously, read the Indian Act, it is bizarre.

Like I'm American living in Canada, why the hell should I take responsibilities for some English settlers from centuries ago... I"m somewhat pre-distracted I'm at work :X so sorry for the confusion I think we agree here @xorgy

If they have a legal claim, sure. But I am tired of bowing to claims based on social justice or reparative theory.

@Coochie coo because they are the debts of the state

@Coochie coo same reason you pay into social insurance here

>English settlers from centuries ago
Residential schools were within the last 50 years m8

You may not like it, but you inherit the state and its liabilities

if you inhabit the country

Policy continued to be fucked into the 90s

whether you were here or not.

well fuck that lol

Then don't come!

I'm already here

then leave, lol

I'm here, I'm queer.

I'm a dual citizen

Make me

And you've already been paying for it lol

I"m dual too

great

Dual wielding?

walk south a bit

I work and contribute to the economy here

great

contribute to paying down the debts of the state, and when they're making the decision whether or not to take on new ones, consider not supporting that!

Walk south. When you hear gunfire and rock music, you're home.

if the debts are enumerated, they can be paid and closed

is my point
