    Yes, many indigenous folk beliefs don’t make sense. But there’s a reason punching down is a shitty thing to do. And you are punching down on indigenous people. Maybe just accept that they have a belief that doesn’t make sense, since it isn’t hurting anyone.

    Unlike the racist with the hugely popular Netflix show.

        I never said you disputed it.

        But since you think there is a danger in this indigenous belief, please tell me what it is.

        I would say that it wouldn’t be in even the top 100 dangers indigenous people have faced and continue to face when it comes to the people that colonized the Americas.

            I literally said:

            So is your issue that I didn’t literally use the word “bullshit?” Otherwise, I don’t know how I could have been clearer or why you think I was dodging anything.

            Now I expect you will talk about touching grass for a third time.
