I'm glad to see any country shrug off #colonizers, though I tend to be wary of #military #coups. But seriously, people in power in #Russia really need to look at their own selves about #colonization.

"#NativeAmericans have used #PinyonPine and #juniper trees for food, medicine and ceremonial purposes since time immemorial. Pinyon pine nuts are a traditional food source for area Tribes and a focal point of traditional ways of life. Tribes and their members maintain ties to historic pine-nut gathering locations and hold ceremonies coinciding with the annual pine nut harvest.
"#SpringValley is an important cultural landscape for the #WesternShoshone, both as a traditional location for gathering and ceremony, and as a site of repeated massacres by #colonizers. Two Western Shoshone Tribal elders, Delaine and Rick Spilsbury, have joined today’s litigation."

Genuine questions:
(1) should there be strict(er) rules as to which nations can apply for #BRICS membership
(2) does accepting expressions of interest from former #colonizers (and ultimately granting membership) risk diluting the #political and economical purpose of this group

Like, you went to the bother of showing off your knowledge that these are found in Indonesia too. At that point, don't play coy with the information because it's not cute.

Like no you dumb motherfuckers you just uprooted the people who knew what they were doing, and when stuff starts to go to shit you decide it must be that humans are inherently awful because it's easier than admitting that YOU LOT fucked up."

Any suggestions?

Common elements include: oppression of women and others, stealing land, creating class differences, and focusing on accumulation of land/wealth with no thought of the consequences. Am I right?

So, one of my "Aspie" super-powers is pattern recognition, as well as the ability to remember things I read -- whether in a book or online (not word-for-word, but the gist).
Pattern recognition helps me recognize patterns of abuse by governments and corporations -- to indigenous peoples and people of color, to wildlife, to natural resources, etc. Unfortunately, this "pattern" has been going on since Ancient Greece, when #colonizers like #Odysseus, eyed lands occupied by those he viewed as inferior -- like women, or those who were different -- as being prime real estate, and ripe for seizing!
Always remember the words of George Santanaya: "Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it." (from "The Life of Reason and Human Prograss, 1905).

This #apartheid systems of #governance in the #UnitedStates & #Canada which #deprive #Indigenous people of #EqualRights trace back to #white #colonizers initial arrival on #NativeLands - panelists explained.
Utilizing a principle known as the #DoctrineOfDiscovery - #European powers divvied up the world according to which of them first "discovered" the land, ignoring the fact that #IndigenousPeople were already living there.
