The States: Maybe A National Divorce Is A Good Idea After All

[Swansong]

I missed something probably because I have somebody blocked, but if this is say putting signs in Navajo in Santa Fe or Albuquerque even though they are off the Res, I am fine with it.

Drew is whining about a small section of Cambridge, MA that's putting up secondary street signs in native american languages.

[Swansong]

It’s an empty, bizarre, meaningless gesture. I’m all for doing something to help them but this is just wacky. If there were native Americans getting lost in that area by all means put up the signs but this is just some attempt to be super pc.

It isn't empty or bizarre or meaningless considering it was people from native tribes who proposed it and pushed for it.

[rufus]

I hate to engage a disingenuous troll, but I don't get the big deal here. It's one small, very specific area, where they're putting secondary signs in native american languages. They aren't rolling it out city-wide, and certainly not state-wide.

Is it a poor use of city funds? Maybe? But easy for us to judge as white dudes, isn't it?

This likely means something to people that aren't you or me. It doesn't impact us in any way. It isn't likely to be spread anywhere outside this section of one small exurb.


So please, explain to me how this is indicative of people losing their minds?

Cause Drew is bugged by it. Don't do things that bug Drew. Then everything will be ok.

Plus, it's a fun language. Let's put diacritical marks on every letter!

This is the dedicated reddit thread. The homeowner is (was?) a paranoid schizophrenic who posted endless screeds on social media that his neighbors and their children were gangstalking him and he was being tortured by cyberweapons. His proof was he heard voices.
