Native American Tells Immigration Protesters to STFU. Silence Ensues.



In Canada, we just run through the Natives:

"We should have put that sign up when you sons of bitches came"

That had me rolling.
 
This really shows the flaw of collectivism.

We have these protesting "Americans" telling another group of people they're "illegal", then rightfully so, a rep. of another "group" (Indians) tells the Americans they weren't invited and are illegal. But what Mr. Butthurt Geronimo fails to realize when he says, "WE DIDN'T INVITE ANY OF YOU", is he wasn't even born when all that shit went down.

In other words, he's behaving exactly like them.

But they're still suffering the effects of it. They've been relegated to living on reservations and they are not the majority of the population like they used to be and they definitely don't control the political and business systems in this country. Just because you weren't around for an event doesn't mean that the event doesn't affect you today.

Fuck that. Yes, because every white person just loves modern day society, slaving away at a job they hate. Unfortunately, white people don't have the luxury of bitching really loud due to events that happened 200+ years ago, and getting millions of dollars for free in return from the government.

Some of the reservations in Canada get millions upon millions of dollars, they piss it all away, then sit around and complain that the government is hurting them oh-so-much. I'm sorry the times have changed, and it's no longer 1750, but hey, that's just how things go.

Collectivism is a really interesting phenomenon.

On the one hand, if you ask somebody if they should be forced to pay for the crimes of others they'll say "no, of course not". If you ask if they deserve credit for the achievements of others, they'll likely answer the same way. This would indicate that most people believe in individualism on a personal level.

But then those same people will kill and hate and die for things like religion, nationalism, race etc - all forms of collectivism. Cognitive Dissonance is a motherfucker.

They're currently allowed to live anywhere in the US that they want, though it would be difficult for many of them to move, and some would say that the government wants it that way.

they definitely don't control the political and business systems in this country.

No, but they do get to be considered "domestic dependent nations", which is a status that the Amish and other groups might wish that they could also have.

What are white Canadians going to do tomorrow if education spending gets cut* or their "free" health care gets taken away? Unlike with the tribes, their ancestors didn't sign treaties with the government saying that they and their descendents would be compensated, yet many Canadians, some who have paid little or no taxes, still think they are owed things.

I'm too tired, so will just leave this here:

$34 million/year (that's not including any employment income anyone earns) for a 2000 person town, but yet they live in squalor, and can't even manage to build a decent school. Got a brand new, state-of-the-art rec center and hockey rink though!

Oh, and Canadians don't get "free" health care. We pay into monthly, and anyone on an Indian reservation can do the same if wanted. And those Quebecois are protesting about university tuition, not primary school.

Sounds like a lot of mismanagement, but this could also have something to do with it too:

The cost of living in Attawapiskat is quite high, due to the expense of shipping goods to the community.
Local stores include the Northern Store and M. Koostachin & Sons (1976). More than a third of the residents occasionally place orders for perishables and other goods (except alcohol) which are shipped in via aircraft from Timmins, and for which the residents make prepayments with money orders. When their orders arrive, the residents have to pick them up at the local airport. For example, 6 apples and 4 small bottles of juice cost $23.50 (2011-12-01).
The price of gasoline is considerably higher than the provincial average. When the fuel is shipped via winter road, the prices of gasoline and propane tend to drop slightly.
It costs $250,000 to build a house in Attawapiskat.[27] The cost of renovating one condemned house is $50,000-$100,000.[28] A majority of the community members have updated their heating needs, while many households still use dry firewood. Firewood in Attawapiskat costs $150 and $200 a cord, and a cord will heat a winter-bound tent for only a week, or at most 10 days. [29]
