@Mailliw Yeah, you could say the same of Alexander the Great too. He wasn't exactly interested in building a syncretic society that drew upon what the locals thought. Well, except "I like those elephant cavalry. I need some of those"

@interneteh I was reading a book on Anti-Authoritarianism and it goes into detail a bit about the Native genocide and how their way of life had to be exterminated to allow oppressive regimes like the U.S. to stay in power. They had a whole society that was untainted by the same hierarchies and class strata we've been using since Sargon conquered half of Mesopotamia. I don't think it's primitivism that you're romanticizing as much as a more nature friendly, social, egalitarian, society.

I don't mean to romanticize primitivism or say life was better before things like medicine, sanitation or refrigeration. Its just we lost a lot of things that maybe we didn't have to. It could have been better.

Not to mention: Indigenous people (unravaged by European diseases) living in a wide array of lifestyles, from nomadic to agricultural to sedentary, some building enormous, sprawling cities.

I have this daydream of seeing North America before white people. Particularly the Great Plains, where I'm from. They say the prairie grasses were like a carpet before it was all plowed up & made into a dust bowl. With millions and millions of bison thundering across it.

@interneteh Mhmm. Sargon created the mold for "Empire" and every ruler after that, for the next few millennia, up until today has tried to emulate it.

I definitely recommend this book though, it's written by a psychologist who often finds himself at odds with psychiatry and the idea of pumping kids with meds. He talks a lot about how anti authoritarians are picked out and then mistreated by our current system.
