      Lindsay Ellis Retweeted N. K. Jemisin

      This idea, popularized by narratives like Lord of the Flies, furthers the notion that society is just a thin veneer and people are just going to become animals the second civilization isn’t around to tell them what to do. Ideas like this were/are used to justify colonialism.https://twitter.com/nkjemisin/status/1259248932326170631 …

      So, white British dude imagines that boys marooned on an island will become murderous "savages." Actual children -- Tonga people, "savages" as imperialism endlessly frames them -- built a commune and took care of each other. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-happened-when-six-boys-were-shipwrecked-for-15-months …

      My own personal reading of LotF is that everything goes to hell precisely because these are sheltered British upper class white boys with a twisted sense of entitlement

      Like he was parodying a book that actually was about shipwrecked kids taking over an island inhabited by "savages" and civilizing them with their superior education And the biggest difference between LotF and The Coral Island is LotF has no "savages"

          Like it's *not* the narrative of Heart of Darkness, where the civilized white man is "corrupted" by contact with the natives, in his story there are no natives and the civilized white boys always were corrupt, they brought the disease with them

          Like I don't know if LotF actually is anti-colonial but I think it's more anti-colonial than Heart of Darkness, which gets more credit for being antiracist than I think it actually deserves

          A good example of children shipwrecked on an island which doesn't feature stereotypes of natives, see Two Years' Vacation by Jules Verne
