When a billionaire who’s never needed Social Security calls it a Ponzi scheme, it’s not “concern”—it’s sabotage.

Femicide and human trafficking. (Mmir = missing, murderered indigenous relatives)
Cuz trafficking impacts both the men and women.
While focus on mmiw is more specific "women" so that addresses femicide.

"...I mention dynamics of childhood indoctrination into colonialism, which is a theme to keep in mind as you view historical sources Ive attached to the end of this post, that share how children were segmented as a primary demographic for advertising stereotypical Indian costumes or "Play Suits".
They keep promoting this "tradition" (aimed at "young ones,) of a specific Native cultural item they've monetized for social media holiday/ interior design content as "magical".

When I post about " #playingindian " ppl often associate it with "cultural appropriation" and invalidate it by clowning the "my culture is not a costume" infographic/meme.
But I just want to reiterate that "playing indian" is a complex issue that goes beyond costumes.

The "cowboys and Indians" conditioning runs deep. To the point ppl been socialized to identify with settler colonial based coalitions and they don't recognize how that's counterintuitive to liberation.

One of the social scripts with debunking appropriation often highlights that "job occupations is not the same thing as culture". I genuinely think ppl have trouble reconciling with that because of this history with "playsuits"

"The billboard shows the painted image of a mostly naked woman with a machine called a piledriver above her, drilling into the ground.The message is: "We drill them to hell and back."

Which is why I was sharing sources educating about the harms of social darwinism as it related to patriarchal violence tied to the savage /sq*w dichonomy.

You see similar overlap with other socially embraced symbols like the Native tobacco statues, the "chief" vs "Indian princess" / "squaw" archetype

Why I don't put any of these celebs on a pedestal. I had criticisms of human trafficking that's normalized when a certain rapper sexualized Pocahontas for shock value.
Ofc some of it is just emotional immaturity. Tough girl archetypes that gets normalized by certain media. But again they don't have to let these beefing celebs in on the actual intent. They'll just Instigate and pay them. As society becomes more ableist consuming their ableism.

Stop promoting gallows humor towards Natives then trying to excuse it with "cowboys and Indians" nostalgia.

Another reason non Natives have vocalized that removing mascots is a "slippery slope" is because of how influential divesting "cowboys and Indians" imagery would have on folk culture.
October 5, 2025 at 3:52 AM
Settlers don't want to divest "Pocahontas" and cowboys and Indians because that messaging shaped the context of their childhood perception of the world.
Watching blade runner recently got me thinking about how all these entertainment industries exist to impose context on everyone's perception and memories.

Colonial extinction burst anxities have a sympathetic relationship to visual "artefacts" that reinforce vanishing Native archetypes.
October 5, 2025 at 3:50 AM
This goes for all the noble savage tropes perpetuated in playing indian in cosplay convention spaces too
Ppl thought I was just saying this to argue cyclically about mascots. When I meant that shit across the board.

We are not your playthings, your mascots, your underlings, your exotic primitive pawns!
