Many White people keep repeating it will be better on Mars because "there's no life" - that is the very same colonial mindset that led us to where we are now. On this planet they're so eager to discard. Hence my comments on lack of historical understanding in these discussions
White people who are so incensed that anyone would question Mars colonisation. They've never considered that Indigenous people see lands is sacred, & that they've *always* fought colonial expansion. Belief that colonising is neutral ignores the violent reality of colonialism.
Indigenous people's knowledge aren't for others to use or to save us/"we." Non-Indigenous people have to pay the rent (reparations, treaty/makarrata), start truth-telling about history, & stop reproducing myths about colonisation, whether it's discussing Mars or anything else.
The odd thing about this is the notion that colonialism is a phenomenon unique to white people. How can you conceptualize expansionist states throughout history (Inca, Aztec, Protodynastic Egypt, etc) or Pacific Northwest Coast warfare, Bantu expansion, etc if you believe that?
You've grown up on stolen land but don't understand how colonialism works. Hence your circular logic that somehow Mars will be different. You don't want to see exploitation of labour for resources & development. I'll leave this conversation here as you're just repeating yourself.
It's an uninhabited planet. Who is violence being done to? Who is being stolen from?
