    the grass roots culture across the us is “stay off my property or I will shoot you”. so what’ya expect? the largest cultural influences we have are pioneer culture and capitalism. it isn’t a mature society by any measure, it is the pinnacle of what you get from colonialism.

      Whenever I see those crazy, deranged Israeli settlers in the West Bank, I can’t help but think about how the people who colonized North America were just as horrible. Cut from the exact same cloth.

        Africa, NA, Central America, SA, the Carribean, Asia, the Pacific, Australia and everything else. Alcohol, disease, war, food, drugs, minerals, sex, amd labor. Everywhere you go, it happened, and is still happening, even in the culture that replaced what was destroyed. There’s always something to steal or take advantage of, for the greedy.
