A Native American tribesman scalps an effigy of Adolf Hitler, 1940's

Scalp the nazis

Ooooh, oooh, please don't tell me is AI, I'm dreaming right now.
Edit: Talking about the native, not Elmo of course.
- Have you never seen that clip before? Go on YouTube, search nazi elon salute, and pick a trusted news org
- Oh its real, and the full clip is worse (he turns around and does it again)
- i wish the rock i'm living under was as impenetrable as yours 😄
- I don't think you watched the clip.

I love seeing historic pictures like this that speaks of different times and in no way shape or form have any relation to what's happening nowadays so that we can look at how much further we have progressed from the past.

progressed from the past
And in some ways, regressed.
- Kinda the joke I was going for there, yes.

this is very confusing

is this from a movie? is he an actor getting paid to do that?

why?

also, Crash Course is releasing a new series focusing on Native American History

why?
If somebody asks me for nazi scalps, I'm not asking why. But I'm definitely getting him some nazi scalps.
- Gotta pay up!
- If somebody asks me for nazi scalps, I'm not asking why. But I'm definitely getting him some nazi scalps.
  that's what Russian soldiers do today. Putin asked for nazi "scalps".
  always ask why!
IDK but all the men in my family from this generation wanted to go kill Nazis. Funny thing was that the military wouldn't let them. All of them were assigned to places in Washington State.
Imagine a bunch of Oglala men (that guy in the picture could very well be Lakota) being unable to fight in a war.... The Oglala were the greatest warriors in the American Indian wars
At a guess Id say its probably for a rodeo. Can see stands in the background.
Exactly my thought. WTH?
Also:
Knowing Better on the Indian Removal - The history of Native Americans in the United States
- watched the first hour and the last 20 minutes.
  The presenter in the CrashCourse series says "we/us" when talking about native americans while the historian here talks, though masterfully and with compassion, about "them".
  it also helps to have 12 minute chapters instead of one big 150 minutes, that sadly keeps repeating the same things that happened over and over again to tribes :(
- downloaded. will take a look
  thanks

If only the native Americans had a more successful immigration policy...

And now the president of the Navajo nation is MAGA. Oof

Source? I am finding nothing about Buu Nygren being MAGA.
- This is news to me as well. I lived right next to a Navajo reservation until shortly before the election and most of them seemed decidedly anti-maga to me, especially given the uranium mining debates that were going on.
Really? But how?
- It's mostly from people who see themselves as "one of the good ones" and sees trumpism as a license to behave however you want and treat others as lesser
- i’m an american and i think i understand why this is the case. i’ll answer you in an edit here later when i have time but even americans get a little perplexed by the wide support trump sees from minority demographics.
  it has to do with a large confluence of factors. these people aren’t stupid (well, anymore than the average person), and i just wanna say this early on in the discourse here.
  international and domestic understanding of exactly what MAGA and trump are is woefully poor. everyone is content just tossing it all into easy little boxes that match their worldviews instead of understanding what is truly happening on the ground, in real life. the neofascists, neolibs, and leftists - worldwide - are all pretty generally guilty of this on the reg.

This goes hard

Native American here, we know.

Today snowflake conservatives would try to cancel him.

1940's

1940s

I don't think you understand. The year 1940 owns that photo. OP simply asked 1940 if they could post the picture on Lemmy.
Wait srsly? Bruh theys the years that belong to that decade. Gotta make that ish possessive
Whatever source your info came from is whack AS
- Ah, you mean like how we write "American's" to represent the people that belong to the set of people from America... Or maybe it's just a thing called "plural."
- theys the years that belong to that decade. Gotta make that ish possessive
  I've never heard anyone defend this mistake with this reasoning, points for at least being funny
- ish ?
  it's forties, not forty-ish

F-to-the-fucking Hell yes.

Putin next

Hell yes!!!! America did Natives so dirty it’s embarrassing!
