You are a moron. I'm not "dissing" anyone, I'm pointing out how that type of society is doomed to stagnate and not develop. It is inevitable that they will be conquered by a stronger society eventually.

You have a romanticized picture of Native culture that fails to acknowledge reality.

You have been sold a lie about "civilization" and it shows. It's not romanticizing history to look at what actually occured. Two opposing worldviews clashed in America, and wickedness ruled the day. Please suck corporate dick some more, please. Your masters are giddy at the thought.

"Wickedness." Hunter/gatherer societies survive by limiting the population because they can't control their food supply. Infanticide is common. War, to kill off the young men, is constant. It's a hard life not a good one.

Hm, a bunch of statements which have nothing to do with what we are talking about. You really hate the past, don't you?
