      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 …

      Good thing these kids hadn't been so colonized that they lost the morals of their home culture, huh. Man, and 2 generations of schoolkids have been shoveled LotF as a realistic portrayal of "human nature." Colonialism does so much nonsense to justify itself.

      It goes down easier if you think of it as attacking rich white British prep school kids specifically and not "human nature" universally

      It does, and I figured this out later. But when I first read it, my HS teacher didn't even understand that the boys were upper class, if I recall. She didn't get that their "public school" is what we would call private.

      Yeah I'm looking back on it now and realizing how many of us got some generalized "oh look all of humanity are savages when left to their own devices" when what Golding MIGHT have actually been going for was: "no just the British people, we need to stop sucking now guys,"

      The island didn't have any violence on it (although Golding took the cop-out of just making it totally uninhabited) until white people came The initial act of violence is the adults fighting their war in the sky
