Summary

Julian Brave NoiseCat is a writer and film doc maker, and a member of the Canim Lake Band, Tsq'escen. In May of 2022 he posted this Twitter thread. Matthew wanted to learn more: I'm struck by the similarity of right-wing conspiracy theories to actual policies towards Indigenous peoples. 'replacement theory' - Manifest Destiny QAnon (mass institutionalized child abuse) - boarding and residential schools 'plandemic' - smallpox, alcohol, bioterrorism It's all so Freudian. The fear that it will happen to them stems from an implicit admission that they did it to others. As though the Black, Brown and Indigenous downtrodden are just as hateful as they are and are going to turn around and do to them what they did to us.
