So while you may “own” the structure, when Indigenous law is restored after the illegitimate occupation falls, you will be told to GTFO.
minus-squareOptimusPrimeDownfall@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down5·2 months agoThat’s incorrect. Indigenous people as a general idea did not believe that land could be owned by an individual due to viewing the Earth as one’s relative, requiring respect and care, as are all the animals and plant life the land supports. Judeo-Christian religions, likely along with many other religions that I haven’t studied from Eurasia and Africa, view land as being able to be subjugated like cattle or sheep. This is unlikely to change until climate change and its disasters convince people that they need to actually take care of the earth.
