Reminder for new people because apparently there's been another uptick in new Tumblr users! <3
CHANGE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE AND PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR BIO (def recommend putting your age or age range or decade you were born so that you don't run into any mdni (minors don't interact) issues)
This helps everyone:
Know you're not a bot. (robot annoying. some robots steal things :( this bad.)
Know you're not (or are) a minor. MANY people are uncomfy with minors viewing/interacting with their content)
Get to know you! This site works best through REBLOGS and eventually gaining some Moots! So interact, be weird, and customize ur little internet space

A/N: I never really do anything like this, but this time, I thought, why not? I decided not to tag people on this, sorry. But if you guys are interested, I can make something a little more detailed so you all can meet the person behind the fiction.
For an autistic person to "give up" on you entirely, to leave your life after any kind of real relationship it generally takes quite a lot— of mistakes and/or simply pushing them away.
They probably gave and gave until they couldn't anymore, past what they even thought they could until it became too draining, too much and they were forced, by one limitation or another to stop.
Because, in my experience, autistic/neurodivergent people are more persistent— they gain and lose interest/attachment far more quickly, or completely in general.
Don't lose someone like that, who will put in and maintain the effort to help and fix things as much as possible.

We are taught to call it “Discovery,” but you cannot discover a home that is already lived in. You can only encounter it, or you can take it. The history of Indigenous displacement isn’t just a series of treaties; it’s a story of how one group of people decided that another group’s existence was an “inconvenience” to their destiny.
Genocide and displacement don’t start with violence; they start with dehumanization. Before you can take someone’s land, you have to convince yourself they aren't "using" it right. Before you can take their children, you have to convince yourself you are "saving" them. This is the psychological armor used to protect the perpetrator from the reality of their own cruelty.

Manifest Destiny (The Shield of Divinity): This was the belief that expansion was a divine right. By framing land theft as "God’s will," the moral weight was removed from the individual. It shifted the narrative: “If I am destined to have this, then your resistance is an injustice against me.”
The Doctrine of Discovery: A legal and religious framework that declared land "empty" (Terra Nullius) if it wasn't occupied by Christians. It turned Indigenous people into "tenants" on their own ancestral soil, stripped of legal ownership because they didn't fit the European definition of "civilization."
Cultural Genocide ("Kill the Indian, Save the Man"): When physical removal wasn't enough, the goal became the removal of the spirit. Residential schools were designed to sever the link between generations. By taking the language, the hair, and the religion, you don't have to kill the person—you just erase the culture until there is nothing left to resist.

History books often focus on one "Trail of Tears," but there were many. It was a repeated pattern of state-sponsored death marches.
The Mass Forced Removal: Between 1830 and 1850, nearly 100,000 Indigenous people (including the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek, and Cherokee) were forced off their ancestral lands.
The Death Toll: People didn’t just "die on the way." They were marched at gunpoint through winter without adequate clothing, food, or medicine. Thousands died of exposure, starvation, and disease.
Targeting the Future: These marches specifically devastated the elders (the keepers of knowledge) and the children (the future). European powers weren't just clearing land; they were trying to kill the very memory of who these people were.
The greatest psychological trick in history was the European invaders labeling peaceful, deeply communal societies as "savages."
The Projection: The white man claimed to bring "civilization," yet they brought industrial-scale violence, biological warfare (like smallpox-infested blankets), and a greed the earth had never seen.
The "Barbarian" Truth: Who is more barbaric? The people living in harmony with the land, or the people who massacre men, women, and children at Sand Creek and Wounded Knee, and slaughter millions of buffalo just to starve a people into submission?
Treaties as Weapons: They used the law to finish what guns started—tricking leaders into signing away land under threat of total annihilation, then breaking those same treaties the moment gold or oil was discovered.

The genocide didn't end in the 1800s; it shifted into the legal and economic systems that remain in place today.
Occupancy vs. Ownership: Even today, the U.S. legal system operates on the "Discovery Doctrine." This means that in the eyes of the law, Indigenous nations only have "occupancy" rights, while the federal government claims ultimate "ownership."
Resource Extraction: The powers that be still treat Indigenous land as a piggy bank, prioritizing pipelines and mining over the lives and health of Indigenous families.
Systemic Poverty by Design: By forcing people onto the least fertile land and then stripping them of the ability to govern their own resources, the system creates a cycle of poverty used to "prove" they can't take care of themselves. This is gaslighting on a national scale.

For many, this is "ancient history," but for Indigenous communities, this is Living Trauma.
The Land is Identity: When you are displaced, you don't just lose property; you lose your connection to your ancestors and your medicine. It is an attempt to lobotomize a culture.
Intergenerational Trauma: The energy of displacement lives in the nervous systems of descendants. When people say, "Get over it," they are really saying, "Your pain makes me feel guilty, and I’d like you to be quiet so I can stay comfortable."
The Myth of the "Vanishing Indian": By romanticizing Indigenous people as characters from the past (mascots or movie tropes), society avoids looking at them as modern people. If they are "vanishing," then the land doesn't have to be returned.

The cure for this history isn't "awareness"—it’s Acknowledgment and Action.
Land Back: Recognizing that Indigenous stewardship is vital for the planet’s future.
Sovereignty: Respecting that Indigenous nations are not "minority groups," but nations with the right to govern themselves.
The Modern War in the Head: Many people today benefit from this genocide without ever looking at it. They live in suburbs built on mass graves and call it "progress." Admitting the truth—that the "American Dream" was funded by the nightmare of genocide—would require a total dismantling of their self-image.
Acknowledging genocide is not about "hating your country." It’s about loving the truth enough to want your country to be better. You cannot heal a wound you refuse to admit is there.
