or any thoughts on the matter.

i've been thinking about this for a while but I do not have the words to explore it well or in details.

like the white idealist part of ecology, the concept of "nature" as some kind of perception-black-hole that blinds from the class struggle aspect, or more complicated, the realization for white from the west that they can neither pursue the neverending capitalist global death machine, nor go back to some fantasized "local", "traditional", "simple", "close to nature" lifestyle that never even existed, and if the sources of that fantasy even existed, they were obliterated during the building phase of the nation state that needed to colonize itself before going outward. colonial mindset x "state of nature" etc

shit like that

be it "classic" works/thoughts on the subjects or very recent things, because things are shifting quite quickly

other random threads : the right to land, soft colonialism wanderlust, white indigenous, Bruno Latour

Dunno if this is what you're looking for but i thought of Leiningen Versus the Ants. It's a short story filled with colonialism porn complete with superiority of the white man. Over the natives, nature, God himself.
