This is a good example of how the left wing agenda is all connected (see also: The Left Wing Agenda: All Connected).
Left wingers openly proclaim that the Indigenous-Industrial complex is dedicated to destroying the USA (and by extension other Western countries, especially "settler" ones). Not just do left wingers hate their countries, but they want to destroy them. You can also see how many left wing checkboxes she ticks in under 7 minutes.
Melanie Yazzie: "We will never leave, we will never forget"
"GENOCIDE: When Democrats, like this Minnesota university professor say the United States must be “dismantled” and “decolonized” to save humanity, they are not speaking in metaphors. They mean it. This isn’t rhetorical flair. It’s a revolutionary premise rooted in postmodernism, Marxism, and racialized grievance politics, an explicit rejection of the American project and its founding ideals.
The Democrats want no America because America, at its best, represents the opposite of everything they believe: ordered liberty, personal responsibility, upward mobility, a colorblind justice system, and national sovereignty. These are not mere policy preferences, they are existential threats to the Marxist’s utopia.
We must reject the premise. America is not a colony. It is a nation born in revolution, tempered by civil war, expanded through hardship, and perfected, not by deconstruction, but by generation after generation striving toward its ideals. The Democrats who cry “decolonize” are not oppressed. They are pampered malcontents who drink lattes while posting manifestos from their iPhones, protected by rights they didn’t earn, in a country they detest but refuse to leave."

"I just want to thank my comrades... For like Dene (Ed: Dene Tha'?) people they say that your words and your breath is sacred like it's a sacred wind that comes out and our words have power.
There's this Haudenosaunee feminist who wrote this line, a book about um the Six Nations land struggle. Um and the book came in in 2006 and she said you know with nothing more than words, indigenous people changed history on the international arena and Indigenous, it is true. Indigenous people are extremely oppressed in the United States. Our numbers were very small right compared to the settler population in the United States. But, what we can offer, right, what we can offer to the struggle for the liberation of Palestine and for the struggle for liberation of all people is our words. It's our stories. It's our memory. And it's our refusal to relinquish who we are and the relationship, the original relationship we have with this land.
We will never be moved from that. We will never leave, right, and we will never forget and I think for me, that is, what we offer, right, to our Palestinian relatives um who are facing so much suffering. Extreme settler violence in this moment. We, we are the memory of a long struggle, and we are the embodiment of the future that our ancestors struggled for. And the dream of Liberation that all colonized and oppressed people share. And, we are here you know to remind the world that even after 500 years, right, that this is something that has not gone away and in fact it will never go away, no matter how much you suffered, and how much you lose. And I think that is is what we have to offer um our Palestinian relatives.
In addition to solidarity and the things that we might do, having the Moral Authority as the original people of these lands, um, to push back against the violent settler project that is the United States, um, and to help to lead that. To be the tip of the spear here of all Liberation struggles and movements that seek to, seek a world of justice, equality and peace. Um that seek to dismantle the United States. I hope you seek to dismantle the United States and if that isn't your politics *clapping from audience*
Okay. I speak as if everybody has this commitment um and the thing is is that you should you should listen to indigenous people when they're telling you that this is the goal, and that not only is this the goal but this is the starting point. Because I think Nick articulated this very clearly um a de decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us. As a species. It's the only thing that's going to save us as a planet, and everyone should just be on board with it no questions asked.
And I say this sometimes on the podcast, our Red Nation Podcast, on the co-host of Red Power Hour, you know like of the most oppressed ass people in Turtle Island, indigenous women are like on the top of that fucking list, okay. And incarcerated at higher numbers, murdered at higher numbers, missing at higher numbers. Higher levels of rape and all kinds of sexual violence and sexual harassment. I mean indigenous women struggle so hard under the settler regime that is the United States, and the way that heteropatriarchy ties so closely into that. And if an indigenous woman is telling you that decolonization is the solution and also that there is real hope.
And that Palestine offers us, we we said this in the speech. Palestine is the alternative path for native nations. And this is because we understand Palestine and the liberation of Palestine is the tip of the spear. Right? It is a righteous struggle and it is so powerful that it has literally, in 60 days, changed the entire world. The entire world has changed. I knew it, I knew it the moment that it happened that nothing, and I mean nothing for colonizers, or for any of the good humble people of the Earth would be the same ever again. And we need to lean into that. Lean into the fact that colonizers are scared. Lean in to scaring them *laughs devilishly* and making them feel uncomfortable, right?
It is because, it is because we have power. And sometimes being here in Minnesota, it, it's real different organizing here. And it's also very different being indigenous here than it is from where I came from in Albuquerque. I find sometimes people here feel like they don't have power especially native people and other folks. Like, we have have power. This is why millions of people are standing up for Palestine across the world. Like we have power.
If we didn't have power they wouldn't go so hard to silence the people. And Palestine, one of the things I have also been had the honor of going to Palestine in 2011 on a decolonial field school when I was working on my PhD at the University of New Mexico. Palestine not only reminded me of my own humanity, as a person living under occupation here, but Palestine taught me so much about the commitment to decolonization. And sumud, that steadfastness right, that word again and again.
What does it mean to be steadfast in your commitment for decolonization? And I think that that is something in my long path of political development and my journey since we started the Red Nation, that indigenous revolutionaries here have also taught me that steadfastness. And I encourage you all, you know, when we leave this event ,tonight have that steadfastness, carry it in your heart. Do not let it go because we will win, and we know this because we have been doing this for hundreds of years and even like I said we've lost so much, we still believe we're going to win. We still will have the relationship with the land, right? We really believe this.
And if indigenous people are telling you this and if Palestinians are telling you this, then you better damn believe it yourself *laughs devilishly*, we're going to win *laughs devilishly*"
Wait till she finds out who are the top people preying on "indigenous" women.

"If you don’t understand how vile and sad this is, ignore for a moment the “dismantle America” bit and notice what she does to Palestinians. How she thrills to October 7 because “Palestine is the tip of the spear” for her own shtick. Because if Israelis can be scared, then all “colonizers are scared.” And then she herself is powerful, a soldier in a grand anti-colonial struggle, and not just one more anxious, uncomfortably safe dullard with nothing important to actually do or fight for in the empty, grinding treadmill of academia and consumerism.
What if Israelis are just people, and making them fear for their children’s lives is a great way to upend the Middle East and shatter the Palestinian cause for yet another generation? What if Hamas actually and explicitly seeks a genocide, brutally oppresses its own people, has disrupted every peace attempt in forty years, and eagerly and at a strategic scale sacrifices civilians on the altar of a supremacist religious vision? What if ordinary Palestinians don’t want to be the avatars of every ideological peccadillo on campus that promises to fill the echoing void of meaning that is the present-day culture of the West?
This professor thrills to the Gaza war because “Turtle Island” something something. Because her own life is a virtual existence, lived online and in inane academic gobbledygook, and so she assumes the rest of us are virtual too, NPCs in her roleplaying game.
Lonely people have a harder time feeling empathy. It’s hard to think of a sadder, emptier, lonelier person than this casually bloodthirsty little ideologue."
