    As for hardware quality, I’ve had my Tab S5E for years, and it is super solid. It looks, feels, and sounds great. It’s one of the few samsung devices that can be unlocked and Lineage installed on. So, if you’re willing to put in the time to install Lineage on it, it’s android 13 and the newest version of Lineage on it.

    I’m simply trying to highlight that what happened to the native Americans is not simply “an aside,” or a footnote in history but that it should take a sharp focus to what the US is or has been. This isn’t about competing special interest group atrocities, but a fundamental question that is at the core of representative democracy. Too often liberal democracy is simply another way to exploit others, and disallow “other” groups from participating.

    From a native perspective, living on a reservation in the US currently, it wouldn’t matter much if it was run by republicans or democrats, as they both simply ignore treaties and obligations. From your perspective, it’s a dire existential crises, but to those who have been swept aside both in the past and the present, it doesn’t matter much at all.

    I don’t know how you can separate the idea of colonialism from the formation of the US. Seems arbitrary and without any philosophical basis.

    As it stands currently, black Americans have better standards of living, in almost all developmental indices, than native Americans. So by any scientific inquiry, native Americans have had it and still have it much harder than black Americans.
