I think the invasion of the world, especially the “new world” by European countries has been made especially virulent by the proselytizing character of Christianity. What happened worldwide after 1492 had already happened in the Mediterranean world a thousand years before: the violent overthrow of a superior and relatively tolerant civilization by religious zealots with a totalitarian ideology. In the later case, where Christianity left off, capitalism took over, in a despotic rampage to control everything, including people’s minds.
Now capitalism is enslaving us all through debt - viz., through usury. To achieve this globally it was necessary to slaughter indigenous people for the purpose of turning their land into mortgageable real estate. Now the same ideology is ravaging the web of life that sustains our existence, & that of all living things. Ideologues - in this case capitalist and Christian ones - are crazy people.

Agree with you completely Sid !!!
Oh thanks, but that was above by our dear comrade "Z".
Me I'm just watching he snow come down.
Regards the topic here. On the upside more people now know what happened, and why. The down side most still don't give a fuck.
Nor it seems does the snow.
It's innocent of everything.
Which is why I so enjoy watching it.
