Are land acknowledgments plastered everywhere a Canadian thing only? Or is this worldwide now. Every park, every assembly at my kids school.

How pathetic can they get?
Should I get pissed that my ancestors lost their land too? Cuz it doesn’t bother me one bit. We got fucked too. We just decided to move on from it and build.
And no, that’s definitely not a thing here in the states.
My land used to belong to the Lenape tribe. It doesn’t anymore. It belongs to me. It has MY name on it, very literally. Sign right out front. Anyone else who wants to claim ownership to my land or stake it will have to kill me and my family in order to do so. And unlike their ancestors and mine, I am fully prepared to defend what’s mine.

I believe there’s a sign in London that says, “We acknowledge that this Islamic caliphate is located on the traditional lands of the English.”

They are everywhere in Canada (especially Toronto) and also get announced before shows and stuff. It’s embarrassing.
I wonder if the tribes that were here before Europeans used to gather round a fire and acknowledge the tribes they murdered for the land they were on.

During assemblies at my kids school whenever a land acknowledgment starts I get up and go to the bathroom. I can’t think of any other civil disobedience that’s better.
It reminds me of being a kid and having to listen to Christian prayers before everything. These are just lefty woke prayers instead.

They’re common in Alberta, Canada. Schools, work, conferences, hockey games, etc.

I have to give them before any/all meeting as policy. It’s performative and offensive imo
Reconciliation is a big thing in Canada, and I have changed my stance and really support meaningful acts of reconciliation now, but land acknowledgements are silly. I could handle it if it was saved for arena size venues, but 5 people on a zoom call making a land acknowledgement is counter productive.

The reason you own the land is because a deal was made for the land, which was then not honored by the side who sold you the land. That is what the acknowledgment is. lol
Predominantly in Canada I thought man. They say this stupid shit non stop

Canada: Sorry for punking you but we’re keeping your shit, lol eh?
This shit makes me nauseous, it’s especially disgusting that they pushed the unmarked graves bs in order to help the narrative. Never apologized for it, over 100 churches have been burnt down since and we’re just supposed to go along with this bs.
These people are lucky it was our ancestors who came here, any other group would have wiped them off the planet. Instead they get all the benefits of western civilization, as well as special rights and privileges. All while being a permanent victim class whose grievances can’t be questioned or challenged in public discourse. Fuck reconciliation, fuck indigenous peoples days and fuck land acknowledgements.

The reason I own the land is because the people who owned it way back were not bright enough to keep it.
Same as any land.

Australia has this.
20 years ago it used to be wealthy liberal areas would put statements on there houses about “traditional owners”, it used to be a bit of a joke , rich people virtue signalling, but now its everywhere and its become virtually mandatory.
Between turning on the TV and working in an office i probably have to listen to a acknowledgement speech about the “traditional custodians of the land” a minimum of 5 times a day, every fucking day.
I got an Amazon package last week and they’ve now started printing it on those.
The irony is that the majority of city aboriginals are now white people anyway.
Theyve even created new language to get around the problem , it used to be black rights , its now “blak” rights. Theres of course some long winded
explanation why the notion of “blackness” is rooted in colonial white supremacy.
At this point I’ve come to realise that each age has its absurdity , and this is ours.

I want land acknowledgments in Norway, Fance, the whole of Italy and Jerusalem since all of those places were once under my family’s rule.
Goddamn, I felt pathetic just typing that in JEST.
How can people actually think this way and not hate themselves for their pitiful minds?
