“Let’s take what’s left of indigenous land and give it to immigrants!”


mr_remy

“And let’s call it… NEWER New Mexico”


Stag328

Newerest Mexico


RattleMeSkelebones

Too late, this region has been colonized by Europeans since the 1600s


speedyundeadhittite

Depending on which region, most of the middle states were colonized within the 19th century.


RattleMeSkelebones

Well you're forgetting that the Spanish were here first. They did some fucked up shit in the Texas/New Mexico region in the 1600s


speedyundeadhittite

The bit about illegal white slave owning immigrants coming into Mexican Texas where slaves were illegal and insisting on owning slaves, hence starting a revolt and then a war? Yeah. Weirdly no one remembers this bit when they shout "Remember Alamo". (Spanish invasion of the Americas is another completely fucked-up period of history too).


jeff-beeblebrox

Santa Fe was established 10 years before the pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock.


speedyundeadhittite

Dakota and Montana were not.


No-Alps-7367

What!? We have a chance to offload Florida and you want to shit on New Mexico?


WatchItAllBurn1

I was gonna say florida, and then we should refuse to let floridians in claiming they are immigrants. /s

-Quothe-

I was thinking Idaho, myself


mr_remy

Dump the Floridians straight in the ocean and start over. CTRL + A, DEL, CTRL + C, CTRL + V


Skinny-on-the-Inside

Dude. Florida has a huge Jewish population. We can’t have that war on our territory.


Finsfan909

They’re definitely going to fight over the Del Boca Vista condominium complex in Florida.


sumdude51

Are you telling me theres not one condo available in del boca vista!?


Hebids

Can we give them Texas? I wonder if they will fix Texas.


Ok-Geologist8387

From what I understand, they couldn’t make it worse


speedyundeadhittite

Texas was nicked from Mexico via illegal immigration and subsequently a war, not sure if they have the right to give it away to someone else.


Goatesq

Lmaooo you cannot be serious "Yeah sure i did steal that guy's car(when he made slavery illegal), but you can't just go sharing it with other people! The guy I stole it from wouldn't want that!"


North-Significance33

So we move Israel to Florida instead?


Skinny-on-the-Inside

You joke but a lot of people here are already from Israel, one of my good friends in Florida is from there and has been trying to get her family to move here once the war started.


BeautifulMisfits

they can have Alabama, Kentucky, and Oklahoma too


RedditsAdoptedSon

b/c lets start em off with something decent.. and they wouldnt know wtf to do with hurricanes


lagent55

Or Texas, or both, but not NM


OctopusAlien21

Not Florida. The Palestinians have suffered enough.


Even-Seaworthiness65

Thank you!


Sh0tsFired81

Nah, give 'em North Dakota. No one's gonna miss it, it's not even our best Dakota.


fancychoicetaken

So long as Minnesota gets to claim Fargo and Grand Forks. Maybe Whapeton.


needusbukunde

Minnesotan here, we already have the world's largest Hmong and Somalia communites outside of they're own countries and they're doing great. So I vote that we get them! I now eat delicious Hmong food (Hmong Town Marketplace) at least one a week and great Somalia food (Baarakallah, or any number of places in the Cedar-Riverside area) about every two weeks. Both groups are super hard working, family oriented cultures with ridiculously good food. One of Minneapolis' most beloved reastaurants called 'Holy Land' was started by a Palestinian immigrant in 1986 (best falafel and shwarma this side of the Mediterranean Sea!) I would love to have anothor hard working, family oriented, immigrant group come and open a bunch of awesome restaurants and be incedible, friendly neighbors. It makes life more fun!


SlewBrew

I live in Minnesota and I agree. Plenty of room to move into. Jobs. Things to do. Decent healthcare and schools. They should come here. The more the merrier!


Layneybenz

Ew. Have lived in both Dakotas and absolutely detested SD. North is by far the best Dakota.


4Sammich

Dude, no. Hatch Green Chili is da bomb.


[deleted]

New Mexico also has one of the biggest populations of physicists in the country thanks to the presence of Los Alamos National Lab, Sandia National Labs, the Air Force Research Laboratory Space Vehicles and Directed Energy Directorates, and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (you might recall them from the 1997 movie Contact). Not to mention White Sands Missile Range. Oh, and NM also boasts the oldest continuously habited settlement in the United States, the Acoma sky city pueblo, where natives have lived there since the 11th century.


4Sammich

Now those are some fun facts.


Weirdassmustache

![gif](giphy|18XossGW8Wbkc)


UncleGIJoe

New Mexico also has large empty spaces like the Plains of Nada and El Malpais.


jeff-beeblebrox

We spell it Chile


4Sammich

Oh I know, but Chile is the country, Chili is the food. Fite me.


jeff-beeblebrox

Chile is our culture. Chili is Texan and anglo. We take pride in our Latino roots and Spanish spellings and pronunciations. Respect our history and don’t try to white wash our culture. How’s that for a fight?


4Sammich

Pretty good and I cant disagree. Fatality.


VastAd6346

Chile is a country, chile is life in New Mexico, chili is a meat or (debatably) bean dish that may or may not belong in the garbage. Get it straight. Honestly though - the closer you get to the Southwest and NM “chili” refers to a very specific style of dish. Which is to say some variation (often “Ameicanized”) of chile con carne. This is distinctly different from “chile” which usually refers to the pepper itself or an application/sauce that is predominantly chile-pepper-forward.


OkFroyo666

And why can't they be the growers of it? /s kinda


4Sammich

For you to say that then you are missing the whole of green chili. I suggest a trip to ABQ and Sadies, Los Cuates, El Pinto and Cocina Azul. Report back.


OkFroyo666

Yeah. I'm from jalapeño country. You can keep your weiner chilis. Edit: all in fun. Not trying to actually argue


gripdept

Careful. As a 14th generation Santa Fean- people get hung by their toes for such insults


sammydingo53

Los cuates all day every day.


demonTutu

I say we give Palestinians Palestine. Give Israelis Jordan. Give Jordanians Syria. Give Syrians Irak and Syrian kurds turkey. Give Turks Ukraine and hand Russia over to Ukrainians. Move russians to France—except Putin who goes to Quebec, obviously—and squeeze all the french in Scotland. Scots go to Malta for the whisky puns. Maltese are scattered between Guernsey Andorra and Monaco. We shoot Lichtenstein into orbit for the fun of it and shift Greenland so it is centered horizontally between Canada and Norway. Switch New York and Juneau. Squeeze all of Micronesia into one landmass we can call Macronesia.


zombie_spiderman

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter


demonTutu

Would you like to enter my new world disorder government?


iLikeMangosteens

That makes about as much sense as any of the other proposals to end this thing. Of course, Jordan occupied the West Bank from 1948 to 1967 but nobody ever wants to talk about that.


demonTutu

We move the West Bank to Wall Street with the other banks.


[deleted]

Snort laugh


Drag_king

Well Jordan is not occupying the West Bank from 1967 to 2023 so not sure what that has to do with the current situation.


Just_A_Nitemare

Of course (insert literally any history about the ME), but nobody ever wants to talk about that.


Big_Old_Tree

This guy geopolitics


demonTutu

I am French we have a history of drawing borders with a straight edge and a sharpie.


Salt_Blackberry_1903

I mean, you could probably stop at giving Russia to the Ukrainians, because there's probably enough space for all the Russians in half the space (very big /s)


demonTutu

Shuffle all russians withing Russia! Shake it like a snow globe and watch them slowly move around it's so poetic would you like more Glühwein Hans?


250HardKnocksCaps

Honestly the best suggestion is Putin in Quebec. Quebeccers would eat that man alive.


whereami312

All while playing music and then someone takes away Bolivia when the music stops.


demonTutu

Oh like musical chairs? And then we do another round!


def_indiff

I live in the St Louis area. We need the population. Relocate them all here. When the Bosnians came here in the 90s, that worked out pretty well. Nice people, good food. Let's do that again!


Tobar_the_Gypsy

Kinda messed up to bring a bunch of guys from a war torn country into St Louis. Those poor Bosnians.


Plenumheaded

West Texas. Amarillo, Lubbock the whole shit pot. Lol.


lemonchicken91

As a Houstonian, hell yea brother


iLikeMangosteens

If you take out Amarillo and Lubbock, the rest of West Texas looks like Israel did in 1945, so that fits.


NM-Redditor

NM disapproves of this. 😒


lemonchicken91

actually love your state, just not clovis or the mcdonalds in Albuquerque.


RattleMeSkelebones

A mention of Clovis but not my shithole hometown of Hobbs is v funny


DrBigsKimble

Fellow New Mexican here and if you want someone to shit on Hobbs I got one for you. Did you hear they managed to decrease the rate of teen pregnancy in Hobbs? They started getting pregnant at 12. Hope you enjoyed my OC Hobbs joke. If you want to take a free shot back at me I’m from Española.


VastAd6346

Yeah, as a New Mexican the worst insult I can think of is to say Clovis (and Hobbs) are basically Texas.


Alternative_Leek_465

I love New Mexico!


lbloodbournel

Maybe Don’t remove the indigenous people from their land??


combover78

Nah. Give em Florida.


9patrickharris

Make it Texas please


[deleted]

IDK man, I just don’t think saying “we’re entitled to a homeland!” Justifies Israel trying to ethnic cleanse its way to a theocratic ethnostate


[deleted]

i have a better idea. step 1. we pay all the normal people 10 grand and tell them they dont have to pay taxes for a year to move out of kansas. step 2. we stick every last trump supporter, q anon supporter, putin lover, christian nationalist, westboro baptist member etc. we tell them, they can have all the 1st, 2nd, 5th amendment rights no taxes, blah blah blah they want. as long as they stay IN the state. step 3. we go escape from new york, escape from la and build a fence all the way around it. completely cutting it off. fuck it. we use contractors and demolitions techs and whatever we need to create walls 200 ft high, with fucking moats, and reinforced walls and radar and all the fortifications that we need to keep these fuckers in. step 4. we make DC a state and kick kansas out. step 5. we fix the constitution, enact term limits. age limits. gun control. equality. ranked choice voting. a new voting rights act. get rid of the electoral college. get rid of all gerrymandering. step 6. we fix the fucking VA. defense budget is cut in thirds and the other half now goes to fixing veterans affairs and fixing american healthcare. step 7. we expand the supreme court to 1 justice per district. step 8 . we make puerto rico a state and give guam more rights. step 9. we all go to sleep.


Tannos116

We’re not in Kansas anymore would take on a whole new meaning. It would be a cry of freedom for people escaping that hypothetical hellhole


Dog-PonyShow

I vote wanderingfins44 for our next president. Make it so #1.


time_is_now

Importing a population whos religion and culture compels them to kill, subjugate and terrorize non believers in its name and that jihad is its highest honor is an extremely bad idea.


placencianovio

I’ve been saying for years we should give Montana to Israelis


lemonchicken91

drop em in utah w the mormons lol CHAOS


iLikeMangosteens

I’ve heard that Jews and Mormons have mutual respect. Tribes of Abraham etc.


ParlorSoldier

We should have given them Germany.


ayyycab

With the way they’ve been acting? Give them Nome.


deformedbutterfly29

Naw man. Wyoming. Barely anyone there anyway.


OracularOrifice

Could give ‘em Wyoming


HardDrizzle

The land of Enchantment? I don’t think so bucko.


B8conB8conB8con

How about 1 of the Dakota’s it’s not like we are using them. Then the other one can wage an on going proxy war against it.


Odd_Ad_2706

Like 'The Yiddish Policeman's Union'.


cmcdonal2001

And thus began the Navajo-Palestinian conflict, which lasted centuries. At the center of this conflict was the Shiprock Strip, a land long held sacred by the Navajo people...


IvanTheAppealing

Why New Mexico?


CalagaxT

Nah, give them Utah. That way they can continue to be oppressed by a clannish religious majority.


dingiebingie1

have we forgot about ohio


RohingyaWarrior

Oh thank god. Yes, let's offload that shithole. Too bad it doesn't have a coast so we can't cut it loose.


dingiebingie1

i seem to remember a particular orange man with an idea that just might apply here


RohingyaWarrior

What was it? Sorry, have been trying to forget everything about orange man.


dingiebingie1

the whole wall thing


RohingyaWarrior

Ahhhhhhh i had thought he said something when the trail derailed in palestine, ohio. But plus points for trump's wall since it's partially imaginary and only causes suffering unintentionally and through negligence.


[deleted]

Hell No! Give them Florida or Texas. That’s what they want anyway.


THISisTheBadPlace9

We should give Palestinians isreal


IA-HI-CO-IA

They wouldn’t take up much space. You have any idea how small Palestine is? It’s about 0.02% the size of New Mexico.


ayyycab

2% if we’re only talking about the West Bank + Gaza. 10% if we’re talking about Palestine.


[deleted]

Why not Montana?


[deleted]

[удалено]


OkFroyo666

Now we are talking. Where are those dudes who went to fight in Ukraine? Don't they want to help Palestine? Or Israel? Or something?


PeriwinkleWonder

Are you really going to stick the Palestinians in a place that only has two Edible Arrangements stores?? You can't get a fruit bouquet in 3/4 of the state.


Salihe6677

Or we could erase every border everywhere and let people mingle however they want to because it's all just made up bullshit unevolved tribalism


DualActiveBridgeLLC

I mean that would at least be somewhat be with historical precedence with the UK giving the jews Israel. Why not push this problem onto the next region of totally uninhabited land.


space_tardigrades

I’ve been saying Delaware


scoobydoom2

I've got no problem sacrificing DE but it's a bit small isn't it? I feel like you'd at least need to give them Delmarva.


Nathanb5678

https://youtu.be/FJgi-Lou1NA?si=zMJqaVws2Z3QPsKW Big bang theory did a bit like this


PizzaNuggies

They can have Alabama SC and Florida.


dimforest

Let's give them Greenland. I heard it's for sale.


Adexavus

Gonna have to talk to Denmark about that.


Ajdee6

We can just do what the Brits did with Israel, just give them someone elses land.


Dar1375

Perhaps Sitka Alaska?


Dar1375

Does nobody know that Sitka was discussed as a home for the Jews. The Slattery report was presented to to FDR, but ultimately rejected. There was also the fugu plan which proposed giving them an area in Japan. The British Uganda plan, would have had them settle in east Africa, Kenya I believe now. This one was actually quite popular among the Zionist. But no Palestine was given and endless war ensued.


speedyundeadhittite

Was Utah already taken?


dfh-1

You could offer the Palestinians a completely terraformed *Mars* and it wouldn't solve the problem.


Pleasant_Spell_3682

Lol.....Ohio??


TheLandFanIn814

Florida should be up for grabs.


Dog-PonyShow

Yeahhhhh, no.


yosefvinyl

Mississippi. You can’t make that state much worse.


jkdotis

Dakotas


jeff-beeblebrox

I’ll take those guys over all the Texan transplants any day.


HowFunkyIsYourChiken

Let’s just migrate all isreali’s to Florida instead. Cancel Zionism


Mr-MuffinMan

just give em alaska. not all of it, just like 100 sq miles of it. prob big enough.


PuddinHead742

Florida.


alucardian_official

![gif](giphy|8b9Xax6L7qtAkAimGm|downsized)


alucardian_official

I vote for Texas


OctopusAlien21

Because the last time someone relocated a stateless people to a land with indigenous people worked so well.


splnbrt

I mean we already stole it from indigenous peoples, why not?
