I’m all for the general gist, but “no criminals?” Bullshit.
They had slavery. Don’t imagine it was a utopia just because colonizers hadn’t made it worse yet.
They, like most other people in the world, had slavery, genocide, theft, the death penalty, and all sorts of other bad things. None of this excuses colonialism, at all. But to pretend that native peoples were some kind of wonderful noble savages is very very racist in and of itself. Even this comment is fairly racist because I just implied some kind of homogenous culture in North American indigenous peoples, which was obviously not the case.
Really cool quotes but they also didn’t have much in the way of academics and professional specializations. Simple solutions to complex problems are doomed to fail and cause harm.
Wow, the sniveling redditor from the other thread caping for neoliberalism is a chauvinist?
