The establishment is terrified of this new radical politics, pushing back against environmental destruction - because this is why the same powerful people who took over our civilizations, deliberately disconnected people from the natural world.

I assert, that this is the main reason they committed actual genocide and cultural genocide against indigenous peoples. It wasn't just that they wanted to steal their land and resources. Rather, they were terrified of their culture of reverence for nature.

In indigenous hunter-gatherer cultures, they have no allegiance to any master, only to Mother Earth. This is why they made such useless slaves, because they refused to be enslaved, and why the colonialists had to enslave people from farming cultures.

Mother Nature, Mother Earth, has no master, and is not deferent to kings or rich and powerful men. This is why the establishment fears so much, people becoming reconnected to the natural world, because it by-passes allegiance to them.

As I've said before, the rich and powerful, are nothing but common conmen. Their claim to own everything, and that somehow we are beholden to them, is just plain old fraud. They don't really own anything, they only claim they do. We're living in a cult, their cult.

This is what they fear so much about this awakening of connection to the natural world, that people might wake up, to see how they are being exploited and conned, by a bunch of confidence tricksters, destroying our birthright.

We are part of nature, not apart from it. The people who claim to own it, and who claim that they can destroy it as they wish, are liars and conmen, charlatans, would be cult leaders, exploiting us for their own ends. Let's show them the door!

Nature is freedom. When we see nature for what it is, it cannot be owned, but it is ours. It's not ours to possess, but ours to respect and revere. See nature for what it is, and set us free from these charlatan leaders that dominate us with their lies and intellectual tricks.
