No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

What wing is the policy where you live on and benefit from occupied Indigenous lands that the "right wing, genocidal policy" gave you, and then you talk about a two-state solution, like Europeans twice descended are somehow now Israelites that were lost in the desert but now understand themselves as deserving of equal national consideration because they checks notes made a nation-state 250 years ago amongst tribal nations that well predate the United States. What "wing" is that?
It's so progressive that you think the Peoples the land was stolen from should get to have some of it back based on how you decide it. Tell me more about this "Progress." It sounds fascinating.
All of Marx's "insights" for how he thought things could be were anthropological descriptions of extant Indigenous political and social structures. He published them as "discoveries." Fun!
I believe it's the wing that acknowledges that any temporary or permanent governmental structure that tries to give all US land back to the Indigenous tribes would probably be beheaded before the ink on the paper could dry, and that much like guns some cats can't be put back in the bag. I think the point of a two state solution would be to return as much land as possible without getting overthrown yourself and allowing these Indigenous peoples to have sovereignty and self-determination, the likes of which they were promised and never got to fully realize. Whether or not they trust that is a different matter, and an equally important one. A true solution would require complete integration of these native peoples into the decision making process to create an equitable solution for everyone where we could hopefully begin to move forward and start the multi-century, multi-generational healing process for these disenfranchised communities. We can't undo the mistakes of the past and we can't instantly remediate things in the present, so we hope to build a better, more equitable and egalitarian future that benefits everyone and does not require sacrifices to our necessities in the name of capitalism.
And I agree that many leftist political and social ideologies resemble many indigenous and aboriginal political and social structures, however in a very different (but still uncannily similar) context. I cannot comment on how much of these writings and ideologies were directly stolen from indigenous or aboriginal peoples, nor what the impact of that is as I am not well-enough versed in every aspect of this. However what I will say is that if we do not take action soon, then our opportunities to prevent further irreversible harm and damage will dwindle.
