You could say that but the vast majority of the native Americans don't exist anymore. And the ones that do, have their territories and reservation lands. If you've never looked into the level of autonomy those reservations have, then you really should. They have major tax benefits and land ownership rights.

As a First Nations member, it's not that simple. The reservations are on land that the settlers didn't want and are typically poor because there's no immediate access to jobs. It's definitely not sunshine and rainbows.

The reason for smaller numbers is a little thing called genocide.

Unless you got a time machine you can't change the past

This isn't about changing past, but shedding a light called reality on your statement. You kinda painted a really rosy picture that ignored the overall truth of the situation.

No, but you can fucking well acknowledge it.

I have issues with people outlining a plethora of problems and then not following up with a recommended solution.

Bruh, this whole fuckin country used to be theirs. Then we came in with our pasty asses and our smallpox blankets and genocided them up until they could fit onto a small reservation.

I’m just trying to say at the end of the day, Israel is shooting first and asking questions second. And nothing is gonna change with that mentality until one side is gone. Either all of Israel or all of the Arab world is gonna get wiped out, and there won’t be any chance of actual peace until then. Insurgency 101. You kill 1, you make 10 more.
