When you read the daily news from a shit hole like Detroit, which is the 'local' news here, it is literally Third World. You would have to go to Africa, the Middle East, or South America to find carnage, amorality, ignorance and filth on that scale. It isn't poverty or education or environment. It is a permanent and relatively static percentage of our species that is not suited to anything beyond Paleolithic culture because they have not developed behavioral modernity. That is a fact. It will not change. It cannot be altered by ever-increasing layers of entitlement or remittance. From a humanitarian perspective, they themselves would be far better off, more well-adjusted psychologically and emotionally, have far more successful societies if they had be left in their natural state of being. Unfortunately the genie cannot be put back in the bottle. There is no viable hominid analog to Pleistocene rewilding as of yet. In a sense, it is in fact a function of colonialism. The problem lies not with the colonialism itself but rather the deleterious effects of population exchanges between the colonies and metropoles and more so the misguided attempts to rectify past societal mistakes by overlaying more, exponentially more destructive mistakes, atop the original sins. Blaming, tearing down statues...it's irrational at best. It makes no sense at all. That isn't reparation, it's resentment. It's not even revenge because the targets of the vengeance caused no injury.
