A map of all government land shows that nearly all land in the American West is actually government-owned, with nearly all the rest being state-owned: the private land that exists comprises either cities or empty woods for hunting or grasslands for ranching (factory farms also exist there now where the ranches once were). If you live in the countryside of ANY country, you would see that even if the lands you live in are overwhelmingly private (like in southern Ontario or Quebec, or the parts of the Prairie Provinces bordering the U.S), comprises farmland (i.e. crops with NO HUMANS aside from the DISTANT farmhouse), or forest. Writing this I realized that humans have failed to conquer nature, and what we have conquered we have simply handed over to our domesticated crops, cattle, and sheep, who serve as our legions.
But these legions are auxiliaries like what the Romans had, not humans and thus not our legionaries. In the American West, the only land in the countryside that is inhabited are the distant farmhouses, the distant factory farms (the slaves and serfs no doubt would be forced to live in distant factory farms, as opposed to those closer to humanity), and Native communities. The only reason the former settler colonies of Northern America and the ANZAC countries have non-white majority populations is because of built-up areas and the good farmland that surrounds them, the built-up areas comprising little splotches on the landscape and the farmland being empty except for farmhouses and stereotypical small communities, the communities of course not being located in the FARMLAND ITSELF. The modernization of the Western world changed nothing: we do not live on an eco-friendly city planet (I would prefer an eco-friendly TOWN planet).
Whilst it was not proven to be a waste of time when settlement was occurring, the lack of improvement in the Western world by the late-mid 2000s proved that settlement was a colossal waste of money and resources. Critics of settlement stated that it would cost lives, money, and weapons, and they were right: they also said it would destroy what had built the American character, the frontier outdoorsman. They also bemoaned the Vanishing Indian for this reason, as Native society (exemplifying the tough outdoorsman), was being destroyed, and also condemned the annexation of Hawaii, the Banana Wars, the U.S intervention in the First World War resulting from the Mexican Revolution, and thus implicitly condemned the 1920s and 1930s American imperialist aspirations in the Pacific which ultimately led to Pearl Harbour. Writing all of this, I conclude that American society (which was a survival of European society which was preserved in the New World whilst being replaced in Europe by absolutism), was destroyed in the late 1720s, when the treaties were broken by illegal settlement (although the Natives were equally responsible, listening to the desire of rogue youths to go to war to gain glory).
The frontier outdoorsman that was the Sea Islander, Virginian, the New Netherlander, the New Swede (the Finns who built log cabins), the Pilgrim Father, the Puritan, the Cavalier, the Quaker, and the communal Christian, became extinct, replaced by the homogenization of modern culture.
We can't even stop our own cities from being attacked with biological weapons. All I'm saying is we should hold off on exposing new territory to the same until we get a handle on the situation.
Though to be fair Canada seems at least as troubled in this regard.
I'm not against the Canadian territory being annexed I just don't want the "Canadians" that come with it.
You stay on your side of the room yankee doodle
He's not even talking about you is the funny part.
