Reply to comment by beaverbait in Norway: Thunberg joins Indigenous protests against turbines. The young environmental activist says green energy cannot come at the expense of human rights. A court order has deemed the turbines' location in Norway illegal, as they disrupt Sami reindeer-herding traditions by DoremusJessup

I know you're joking but "indigenous people should pay for land they've always been on, and give up their lifestyle for the sake of non-indigenous people's convenience" has resulted in too much real-life genocide behind it to be funny

Edit: Read it wrong, haven't had my coffee yet, crossed out the incorrect part

That's not at all what I even joked about. I said the shitty company should pay them 150-200m if they are going to go against court rulings and build there anyway. Which would give them the option of moving and buying expensive properties which may be better than this will be, since they'll likely be forced out.

Again, I was joking but the joke wasn't that they should move and pay for their land but that they should be paid for it if it's being taken and not given back.

It's a ridiculous situation to have in 2023, but sadly not surprising.
