Les Lothringer wrote an excellent, extended essay on the effects of colonialization, neocolonialization, war, genocide, and more. A long series of self-serving justifications, ever shifting as circumstances dictated, have led Western Civilization to where it stands today, at the very brink. If or when one considers the plight of Western nations today, and the seeming replacement of their populations, one should also consider the uncomfortable past:

That native Indians died out with alacrity in the face of the numerous Spanish invasions was understood within the Anglo-sphere to be due to the bloodthirsty cruelty of the Spanish occupiers, well known as it became, yet when similar and larger outcomes were observed as a result of Anglo-Saxon intervention in The Americas, other self-serving explanations became necessary. Daniel Denton (1626 – 1703) American colonist provided the necessary anodyne explanation that “Where the English come to settle, a Divine Hand makes way for them by removing or cutting off the Indians”. Yet, religious explanations proved insufficient and internally contradictory for those with a close acquaintance with biblical prose (certain of). Biological explanations came to replace the religious. All of the exterminated were people of colour and so it was a self-evident truth, an axiom really, that racially based Natural Law was in operation, thus the genocide of the non-European was a stage in the natural evolution of the world. At this point, the Science of Genetics was yet to emerge as it was variously believed then that there were between three and five human species on the planet, rather than one, a now settled matter further discussed below.

Read the whole thing, and thanks for Les for sending it to me.
