Dunno how to give you advice. “Want out immediately, but not so immediately as to be homeless” and “military is kinda appealing, but there might be a waitlist if you have depression.” And “I dont want to do demeaning minimum wage jobs” all kinda conflict with one another. Also, the fuck you worrying about prestige for? That’s ridiculous, either get in the house or get out. Prestige ain’t got shit to do with it.

It isnt really any less severe… Less violent, maybe but not necessarily.

Native Americans have spent 500 years being genocided. Some of that was in extermination campaigns but a LOT of kidnapping and forced acculturation into “the white mans world” accomplishes the same goal of eradication of a culture or ethnic group.

There’s a long history of forced sterilization in the american black community as well, not to mention that we have a record of arresting black men and throwing them in prison for the crime of being black and poor.

All of these are different methods of genocide.
