I do love that you're questioning the western ways of living. Yes it's completely flawed and isn't productive for the majority of us of the DIaspora. Moving elsewhere would possibly provide a peace of mind.

Yeah we need to return to the State of Nature to weed out all the freeloaders 😍 there’s definitely no dog whistles here 😍

its a book by this indigenous american plant biologist and poet where she talks about the forms of interconnectivity and knowledge the people and nature have between each other.

for instance in the western creation myth eve is cast out on to earth and must "tame" the wilderness to survive. portraying humans as something separate from nature creating an inherent conflict between humanity and nature.

the creation myth between many native american tribes instead goes along the lines of skywoman descending to earth and having nowhere to stay. she asks the animals for help and they decide to agree, many of them diving to the bottom of the ocean for dirt - many of them dying in the process. the surviving animals place the dirt on the back of a turtle to create "Turtle Island" (ie America). Skywoman having brought the gifts of many seeds is able to begin planting the flora that has become the American landscapes.

this creation myth sees humans as indebted to nature while also emphasizing the synergistic existence between humans and nature - creating nature together. while yes these are folklore, the outlook inherent to them has clearly had drastic serial affects.

and it kinda goes into the dichotomy of the sterile western "scientific" view - separating nature into "objective" observation - and the thousands of years of indigenous knowledge. it's a really interesting read given that the author is a professor of biology and is able to give both understandings of humanities relationships with nature.

plus the writing is really beautiful and provoking I think you should take a look at it it ties into a lot of what you're trying to get at here.

Crackheads got no work ethic you really think they gonna search for d**** in the woods. Or travel to South America for a cocaine plant 😂

Yes

Poverty is only something that exists within humans

It is a human conception in the human field of economics

If we werent humans none of that s*** would matter. Poverty is not a part of the larger Earth and Universe. It did not exist until modern capitalism

Like bro you ever take time to notice how beautiful the earth is?
