Had an old friend share this bullshit to Facebook unironically: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/wet-suwet-en-coastal-gas-link-pipeline-lng-1.5469401 I'm trying to come up with a pithy analogy, but I'm too tired.

The history of post-contact Americas is littered with examples of America's indigenous people not just getting a handle on European modes of production, but excelling at them to the point where colonizers had to implement laws to keep them from competing with European merchants, traders, and labourers. Honestly I think the only reason that view isn't more prevalent among indigenous people is because of the systems put in place to deny them access to the same rights and privileges granted to settlers.

jettisonedstuff posted:Can you recommend some reading about this? Some of it comes from anecdotes from reading about the early conquests of Mexico/Central America/Peru, like how the conquered Andean populace began asserting their land rights in Spanish colonial courts using their records via the khipu and won, a lot. That pissed off the Spanish conquistadors enough as they wanted to be the landed gentry of the New World, so they got the Catholic Church to destroy all of the existing khipu under the auspices of destroying pagan worship. In the Canadian context, I wish I could recommend a popular history book, but academically there's: Rolf Knight, Indians at Work: An Informal History of Native Labour in British Columbia, 1858-1930 Shauna MacKinnon, Decolonizing Employment Aboriginal Inclusion in Canada’s Labour Market Mary Jane Logan McCallum, Indigenous Women, Work, and History 1940–1980 and the one I like a lot is John Lutz's, A New History of Aboriginal-White Relations it's fairly approachable for an academic text but it may be getting out of date at this point as it was already a bit dated when it got published. There's probably a ton of work in the American (USA) and Latin American context but I don't have much expertise in that area. And honestly my knowledge of Canadian historiography is starting to get dated.

I mean that Canada is a scam — a pyramid scheme, a ruse, a heist. Canada is a front. And it’s a front for a massive network of resource extraction companies, oil barons, and mining magnates.

This is a good twitter thread (teaser for a longer piece) about changes in affordability over the past 35 years. US data, but hey! https://twitter.com/oren_cass/status/1230505794686373888 Specifically, I think the emphasis on inflation quality adjustments and the outright unavailability of "the inferior cheaper good" is important, when so many things in life are inflation-adjusted and inflation-indexed ... if we're lucky!

platzapS posted:In a way this is anti-pipeline propaganda, no? Basically the same argument you can make over any capitalist country. The government caters to capitalist/moneyed interests over the well being of their citizens and those citizens rights, any pretense to those rights is dropped as soon as the a) the targeted group is small enough or b) the opposing interest is large enough. The primary industries forcing our governments hand tends to be resource extraction sector rather than say, medical insurance companies.

This is pretty common, though the real dishonesty in the cbc article is how much they use vague descriptors of how many Wet'suwet'en actually support the pipeline. You could only get swayed by this stuff if you're a lib identitarian who thinks that individual opinions are where politics ends.

Throughout Alberta’s history, we can see several distinct cultural themes. A struggle against a colonial government, a desire for individual freedom, a willingness and drive to achieve personal economic liberty; a deep connection and respect for our land; and an economy unique to other areas of Canada. Immigration patterns of settlers to Alberta are also historically distinct. At a time when the East attracted bankers, lawyers and other capitalists into established industries, Alberta was drawing families who survived harsh climates and had an ability to live off the land. Settlers like the Hungarians, Romanians, Ukrainians, Dutch, Germans, Scots, Chinese, and Icelanders immigrated to Alberta because of poverty, overpopulation and unemployment in their homelands. Still others came to Alberta driven by the desire for freedom from government oppression. Persecuted individuals like African Americans, Jews, Mennonites, and Mormons sought refuge and opportunity in Alberta.

Very problematic of you to erase the experiences of all those Hungarians, Romanians, Ukrainians, Dutch, Germans, Scots, Chinese, and Icelanders who just wanted to go out west and achieve personal liberty while free from the constraints of lawyers, bankers and other capitalists.
