Quit Virtue Signaling and Give It the Fuck Back

On Land Acknowledgements

I write with some amusement about the new trend of “land acknowledgements.” In essence, some organizations will now include at events acknowledgements that they are using land that was stolen from indigenous peoples. (For a deeper exploration, read the article at the link, but be warned it is written in the kind of language that is making the right eye of the ghost of George Carlin twitch.)

Can I make a humble suggestion? If you are going to acknowledge that the land is stolen, how about taking the next step and giving it the fuck back to the decendents of the people it was stolen from?

Oh wait, I forgot. Virtue signaling doesn’t really cost anything, as opposed to giving your campus back to the Ojibwe.
