Funny how "protection from

witchcraft" CHARMS look just like witchcraft.

Saying "pre agriculture" when it comes to colonization of the Americas is just wrong. We had massive agricultural practices.

Land Back is a dead-end political movement that's mostly propped up by non-native, anti-civilization academics with ecofascist tendencies. It's actually fairly racist, based in ethnonationalism and ideas about "noble savages" that are not based at all in history, that also unfortunately drowns out all of the real concerns that actual indigenous people have, most of which are far more complex and do not have easy solutions.

Anyone who tells you that "indigenous" ways of life are somehow better or nobler or more sustainable is just outing themselves as bigoted against the very people they claim to be advocating for. There was a significant amount of environmental degradation in pre-Columbian North America, including desertification, loss of habitats, and many megafauna that went extinct due to human intervention. It's not anyone's fault though, no one knew any better before the science of ecology developed in the 20th century.

But the idea that pre-agricultural or pre-industrial societies were more morally pure who "only take what they need from the land" persists among people who apparently do wish it were true, so they could put native people on some sort of pedestal that would make their victimization and mistreatment more tragic, but it has no basis whatsoever in reality.

idk there are definitely indigenous activists with specific and achievable goals related to "land back" but I guess you could call anything complicated and abstract "dead-end"

That second paragraph is like...mostly just horrifyingly wrong? If no one "knew any better" about ecology before the 20th century, uh. How do you think that humans survive in any environment for 200+ years? Luck?

Ecology is just, outside. Go out there and look at it. It's got fuck all to do with moral purity and everything to do with survival. I mean seriously—the "science" of ecology is woven into the cultural fabric that ensures survival in pre-industrial societies. It's not perfect, and humans had a significant impact on post-ice age extinctions, but generally people who are dependent on the natural resources immediately around them either learn to manage them sustainably, or they don't last long. We're plummeting toward option 2 right now.

Colonizers' destruction of natural environments was not because of plain scientific ignorance about how nature ~works~ (though that was present too, since they were invaders in a land they knew nothing about), it was because of a mad rush to exploit land of resources, intentional attempts at genocide, and ideological crap about "taming" nature and making everywhere Just Like Europe because Europe Is The Best, Obviously. I KNOW there's nuance here, but it isn't true that no one Knew Any Better. They knew, the colonizers just didn't care.

You have got to be messing with me. No, the "way of life" that pours millions of gallons of water and more herbicides than are used for actual farming on monocultures of invasive grass and obliterated almost the entire American prairie to replace it with corn sprayed with pesticides is not comparable in "sustainability" to the way of life practiced by the people who lived here before for 10k plus years. This "way of life" has barely existed a century and it's already being recognized as Shitty and discarded.

My grandmother was a survivor of church run residential boarding schools.

This last photo of mourning is on my own reservation.

These churches have absolutely no right to say anything. Their hands are dirty!

From your 28-Nov-2021 post, asking among other things, "who are we truly as a spirit..." and going into nine dimensions. Why does there need to be levels that we ascend to? Why are there constructs that allow us to escape the world we are in right now? I agree with the idea of us being energy, however, why not one dimension, the one we are in where the task at hand is simply to use our energy to create a life well lived, right here, right now, to the best of our ability?

There's nothing wrong with the be here now concept. Have you ever read the book "Be here now" by Ram Dass? I love it.

Christians or should I say the church (Catholic) do not celebrate Saint Valentine's Day or even acknowledge it on their calendar as they do not believe he was a saint and they call the holiday a Pagan festival (because it is actually Lupercalia.)

Alot of priests frown upon any of their members who celebrate the day.

Saint Valentine's Day gets it's name from a priest called Valentine, who was performing secret marriages so young men didn't have to go to war (married men who were drafted at that time didn't have to go to war.)

When he was found out, he was sent to prison to be beheaded by the church for his crimes.

While in prison awaiting his fate he fell in love with a girl, they passed notes to each other and on the notes they signed them anonymous to keep their love secret (because it is a sin in the eyes of the church for a priest to enter into a lustful relationship.) This is why Saint Valentine's cards are originally sent anonymously.

(These are actually only made up stories in order to take pagan holidays down. None of any of the stories of "Saint Valentine" are historically acurate.)

Worms from the rotting remains of Ymir became the cardinal directions

Odin and his two brothers were in fear that the sky would fall upon them.

Luckily, worms had started to slither out of the rotting remains of the recently murdered Ymir and turned into dwarves.

The brothers grabbed 4 of these newly developed dwarves and had them hold up the sky.

They became known as Nordri (north), Sundri (south), Austri (east) and Vestri (West).
