      Thought so.

      The people in the picture are victims of the first genocide committed by the USA, there were many others after it.

        These people are not victims.

        These are brave leaders, dedicated community members, and cunning warriors.

          You can be all of those and still a victim lol.

          Being a victim doesn’t require yourself to ‘believe’ you are. You are, objectively, a victim. Saying you’re a survivor may help your mental, it might also be true, but it doesn’t negate victimhood lol.

          True objective reality and your own can be very different things that let you get through the day lol.
