> Why are you so angry about this? Honest question.
It’s performative, hypocritical, and a form of social aggression used to assert your own standing/power, not to actually help a single person.
“Acknowledgement” has not been practiced for “many TENS of THOUSANDS of years”.
> I’m not guilting anyone to do anything.
Of course you are. See all the “yikes” and “woah” you post, and weird capitalization of “TENS of THOUSANDS” above. You absolutely are attempting to leverage vapid social aggression to guilt people into following your silly religious dogma.
> It’s not even posturing.
Of course it is. It’s a meaningless, modern, invented platitude used by people like yourself to advertise how virtuous you believe you are.
> It’s tradition for the people who walked this land long before me.
Your useless “acknowledgement” of having stolen the land while refusing to give it back? That’s not some ancient tradition.
Every group prior took land from others, claimed it at their own, and didn’t pretend to performative “guilt” over having done so.
