Yeah, he really is. And they handle the indigenous worldview very matter-of-fact as far as I can see. No "Spooky Cos It's Native". Shares a lot in common with RESERVATION DOGS, and not just Zahn

@anildash.com is right that "Aha they make shit up" is dodgy, but that's because "making shit up" that LLMs is not actually the same thing as what humans do when they do the things we call "making shit up".

And like… the fucked up thing is, some people *will* want to be a boot, fully not understanding that a) it's fucked up to want to be the boot, & b) they're only going to be useful to these people as long as they're *Useful To These People.* And "Useful" can mean lots things; scapegoats are "useful"…
"Palantir. Neurodivergent. Fellowship."
"Hey kids! Wanna be a boot? 😃"

"After T4 came wild euthanasia, and in the midst of it all, sub-action 14f13, which brought T4 “assessing” doctors to the concentration camps. Ongoing psychiatric murders happened in occupied countries by Nazi roving military forces called Einsatzgruppen."
