This is just the paradox of tolerance with higher than usual stakes. If you believe he is an existential threat to American democracy and that American democracy is worth protecting with violence then you should be in favor of this.
If people actually believe he is going to end democracy but the only legitimate resistance is voting harder then we deserve to lose it.

Because it’s a lot less straight forward than that and this guy is a crank with a history of intimidation against other Lakota people.

Also this legal fund is for a hearing that happened a year ago so don’t donate to it.
He got the recordings, he also wanted control of the copyright for those recordings. This would have prevented LLC from even continuing to publish their Lakota dictionary and other language materials. https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1197956092
The guy who mocked a C&D asking him to stop provably lying about a nonprofit and then begging for money online is ridiculous.
Further evidence this guy sucks https://lastrealindians.com/news/2023/10/25/rl1qqmxm3cpcvoe8k9vsiv06gxibns
You will never convince me there is any excuse for declaring somebody’s language my intellectual property is a justifiable thing on any level.
Nobody did that. Do you think Merriam Webster is copyrighting the English language by publishing a dictionary? Do you think they don’t hold the copyright to their dictionary?
“My grandmother was paid to recite material, it’s literally theft of my heritage that I, her grandchild, do not own the distribution rights to that specific recording”
If they were trying to copyright the stories or the language that would be one thing but it’s just their recordings and material they’ve produced. He probably shouldn’t have used his position at the school as part of his slander campaign if he didn’t want to risk losing it. If there was no professional misconduct then his licensure isn’t at much risk.
All he had to do to avoid consequences was not double down on saying “a non-profit paying someone to talk into a microphone is literally theft in a criminal sense”. If he wants to ignore a reasonable cease and desist so he can continue to lie about a nonprofit he should pay his own legal fees about it.
“No matter how it was collected, where it was collected, when it was collected, our language belongs to us. Our stories belong to us. Our songs belong to us,” Taken Alive,
Ok sure you can say that but when somebody receives payment in exchange for being recorded reciting a story signs over the rights to the recording you, the grandchild of the person who actually did the performance for the recording, do not own the rights to that recording.
If you actually read the SDDE complaint (link from the fundraiser) or the C&D they’re pretty damning. This guy sucks, don’t give him money.
*You should especially not give him money because this legal fund is for a hearing that happened a year ago and he never turned off the fundraiser lol
This doesn’t read as a literal quote to me. I’m feeling 50/50 that was what he was thinking and said something more appropriate vs actually saying that. He was on a podcast, presumably in a storytelling/jokey frame of mind.
