    Sometimes it feels like playing up how everything is sacred for native Americans actually infantaliszes them and gives the American government a pass on the truly horrific wrongs committed against native Americans.

      They literally say the entire world is sacred.

      And the Native Americans I heard describing this weren’t jerks about it.

      It seems to me that there is a lot of white knighting on this topic.

    Possible unpopular opinion: I wouldn’t be upset if they dug up Arlington National Cemetery.

      They dont, but the living very much do. My grandfather doesn’t care if you piss on his corpse, but I will be more than a little upset.

    Weird that we hoard human corpses. I told my wife I want to be tossed in the ocean to be eaten by all the animals, or give me a sky funeral where you’re eaten by birds

      Alternately, don’t dig them up, but plant acres of native plants all over them and let it run wild.
