An anthropologist (Dr. Margret Mead-article) said civilization started when the first human femur ( thigh bone) was broken and then healed. That means someone had to carry that person out of danger, feed them, bathe them, make a splint, care for them, protect them from the dangers of the outside world for months...
But now, most of humanity would shoot our brethren if it meant we would survive. Funny thing is, you'd shoot them in the leg, so the enemy (let's say a bear for ex.) will take your guilt away because it actually killed the victim. Even though the shooter is to blame 99% for their demise, since that person could have had a chance if they weren't incapacitated.
A great example is not giving money to a homeless person because "they'll just spend it on drugs." So honourable of you to ignore a fellow in need. But they are poor, therefore not your equal and must be on drugs. Not like the economy has anything to do with people being homeless. Can't buy a house, can't rent. What do you do?
We went from being civilized to unwrapping civilization and saying people are better than others.
The ultimate human design failure is human egoism. To be better than those who are different and want destruction of differences so the destructive sides beliefs are safe.
I am half Jewish, half aboriginal. My families on both sides have been oppressed, taken from their land, beaten, abused, forced into different cultural beliefs, Christians stealing people like my grandmother as a child and taking everything about her Cree culture away from here, including language. Same with Judaism for my mother's side.
And for the colonists, yes I think the land should go back to the indigenous populations, but then again, that will never happen.
How can you have a both colonial view and one of indigenous people? You don't, actually. You're just colonists. The type of people who savagely abused all of my ancestors.
Fuck colonists, fuck the "finders keepers attitude". You're also not better than anyone else.
-in myths, fae time appears to work differently/non-linearly, yeah?
-what if the Prophets from DS9 were actually fairies?
-what if the Prophets from DS9 were the fairies from the anime Humanity Has Declined?
-what if a DS9 episode revolved SOLELY around Sisko having to make sweets for the Prophets before they would tell him something Very Important and Plot Relevant?
