when you have a colonial project eventually you’ll make a colony so profitable it will shift the center of your empire. the indigenous collectivist elders i’ve talked to have generally been of the same mind that Europeans (including Americans) are a young people who refuse wisdom when it is presented to them because like toddlers we refuse to look at the world with open eyes, and instead rely on short term decision making. hopefully as America demonstrates itself to be an empire in decay we can look towards Pan-continental movements (Pan-Americanism, Pan-Africanism, Pan-Europeanism, Pan-Pacifica) to learn how past post colonial societies transitioned from subjugation to collective beneficiallity without creating false hierarchies based on national identity. however, i haven’t been impressed with certain groups’ ability to look outward for new (to them) wisdom rather than only looking within their local milieu for the same rigid dogmas they already practice, just with a new veneer
someday though, the world must be free and the greatest law of all will come from the land, and not from a hereditary succession of power. there is a 16k year old war against the land. the rich and the powerful convince us that they can win with more power, but the earth itself cannot lose this war. it is unfathomably powerful. to fight against it, as the petrostates do, is folly. only those who fight alongside the land, to protect our water, heritage, and rights, can be on the winning side
