Alexander Skarsgard being asked about what he thinks of "nepo baby" labels and him just being like, 'ya obviously, i thank my dad every project i get cause he got me here and i constantly worry I'm not really good enough on my own,' is likely one of the most relatable responses.

The Congo alone is seeing death counts in the millions, a country ravaged again and again by colonialism.
Yet which media outlets are reporting this? What government agencies are gathering aid?
Sudan, Congo, and Tigray have been experiencing and fighting genocide all this time y’all have been acting like you didn’t know your Western governments are actively funding the slaughter.
Your silence indicts you.

He got to the site where they had found stacked rocks in 4 corners and had been digging for signs of an encampment or what it could mean.
He started laughing cause his own dad had stacked those rocks to remind himself it's a good place to park the 4 wheeler.

It's fascinating to watch the stage of capitalism where people are honored to do free labor for rich people that don't care about them because they feel some kind of connection and loyalty like a dog wanting a treat, only the treat is an imagined feeling of connection.

Like all these people that get defensive and give 39 minute defense desertions about how they earned it alone are just being silly in comparison, and that defensive response is likely tied into the same imposter syndrome, just a less healthy coping mechanism.

We all know about how the Inuit have a 100 words for snow. We know the Arabs have 100 words to describe the sand in the desert. We also have developed our chemistry physics and botany to levels the ancients could only dream of.

So for dad, you simply avoid owls, and if you see them you have practices to cleanse yourself and deal with the taboo.
You do not kill all the owls, the very idea of harming an owl is a greater taboo than seeing one. They merely exist and serve a purpose, you let them be.

Europeans always believe this weird, "Natives never had property rights" trope, despite clear historical proof it's false.
You never “owned” the land in North America. Your people were just passing through, like all of us. But you were so backward, you didn’t have a written language (we taught you that) , no courts, property rights of delimitation, so you were always warring & raping and kidnapping.

Compare this to the Indigenous idea that a thing is dangerous or worse disgusting.
Danger is to be avoided, if a dangerous thing threatens you, you deal with it, but just because a thing is dangerous doesn't make it inherently bad or wrong, or even malicious.

It's wild to think that europeans keep telling themselves the Americas were untamed, undeveloped, wilderness, when the majority of plants and animals were proven to have been developed and engineered for a purpose, which is why like the majority of the food they eat we created.

Natives on the other hand knew and know the wolf is dangerous, but it also serves a purpose, it just exists as what it is.
We mitigate, we avoid, and if necessary we hunt them, but the idea of hunting all wolves to extinction because they are dangerous is simply inconceivable.

Lots of things are dangerous, lots of those dangerous things also have benefits.
Some people specialized in dealing with what's dangerous, but if you kill every bear, wolf, pest, predator, etc then you are destroying a person simply for being and leaving a hole in the ecosystem.

Another example, perhaps better is the wolf. Wolves are objectively dangerous people.

Anytime someone uses "virgin forest" to discuss the Americas precontact nothing else they say matters.
While forest cover has changed dramatically in the past several hundred years, the change in the forest makeup has arguably been more stark. Since european settlers arrived in the US, 90% of the virgin forests that once covered much of the lower 48 states no longer exist.
