On the 19th, the day after my 18th birthday (which was great, by the way!), the Lakota dropped out from 150 year old treaties with the U.S. and are separating from the U.S.
Anyone in their 5 state territory is welcome to be part of it, be it that they forfeit their U.S. citizenship.
This shows many good signs. Obviously, the Lakota are doing this because the U.S. has done nothing to help and has reduced their lifestyle tremendously.
I was told this is a futile attempt. I think while it will most likely be sabotaged and surveillanced by the U.S., I think this situation is generally positive. Not only will these people get a chance to breathe and rejuvenate, they are allowing anyone, basically, to be their citizens.
This is a huge jump in direct action. I can imagine more and more people joining their territory, defending that territory, and possibly affecting the U.S. dramatically, considering the location.
In a world where it's hard to see any effort of activism, this is a new option. This is something that can grow. This is SOMETHING.
And I'm excited to see what happens.
Who wants to move to Minnesota, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Nebraska, or Wyoming?
