This reply was actually pretty good:

This is something every pan-racial (for lack of a better term) movement will run into. Every movement needs its foundational myths (in the folkloric sense, not the "stories that are false" sense) and common beliefs to function. When you're trying to unite disparate peoples whose main reason for joining together is to increase political/bargaining power, you're going to have to either choose to prioritize certain narratives over others or create new narratives whole cloth. Since legitimacy tends to come from either time or power and these movements lack power, most groups are going to pick the first option (in reality, a mix between the two options). Due to the relative prominence of the Eastern Woodlands in both American/Canadian history and members of tribes from that region in the creation of pan-Indianism, narratives from those tribes are going to be prioritized. And other people are going to go along with it, because joining with the movement is more beneficial than fighting it, especially for something as minor as this.

covid-cool has caused a huge spike in heart attacks and strokes, particularly among young people. I know an 18 year old who died from a stroke last year after having "the flu".

Yeah this data only goes to 2019. I'd say your analysis is good, covid-cool is part of that long running loss of rights.

My partner and I went through this last year with a family members wedding. We were just honest/open about it, it caused some tension, more with my parents than than anyone else, but after a few months everything kinda calmed and was the same as before the wedding. I will say even though we knew deep down we weren't going to make it (the wedding was smack in the middle of where we got back-to-school surges previously and a new variant was spreading fast), we wanted to go so bad that we waited longer than we should have to let them know in hopes something would get better/change. Don't recommend, just getting it over with ASAP if this is already how you're feeling.

Also, meow-hug, this shit sucks.
