Kulturkampf

[HaughtyFrank]

The idea that harvesting resources is inherently colonial seems kind of dumb and infatalising of indigenous cultures. Like were Aztecs and ancient Egyptians building pyramids with paper? No? Or does this mean they were also colonizers? Well in that case what even is indigenous.

Edit: where does even this idea come from that indigenous people automatically lived harmonically with the environment. Isn't one assumption about the Easter Islands being mostly treeless that the indigenous people ended up cutting down every single tree?
