What does “indigenous” even fucking mean. I’m of European descent living in Europe, motherfucker I’m the indigenous one around here.
This comic pretty directly equates “indigenous” with “brown & too poor to meaningfully impact their own ecosystems” (which isn’t true either because poor countries have a pretty good track record of destroying their own ecosystems as well).
Saying “humans are a plague” is some edgelord type shit. Equating it with fascism is just dumb and dilutes the term “fascism”, and on top of that they’ve managed to illustrate it in one of the most racist ways I’ve had the displeasure to read in a while.
Maybe I can give the author some slack and assume they’re being a typical yankee and completely disregarding the rest of the world, and trying to be progressive by supporting the work Native American reserves do. But even then it’s inexcusably dumb.
Great Britain’s a particularly bad example because most of the people living there today are descended from invaders and colonizers. It’s telling that the areas that have more natives there (Scotland, Wales) voted not to leave.

Fuck… I never thought about indigenous Europeans. Does this mean Brexit was technically an anti-colonism movement?
