Thanks, my god this sounds like another lefty clunker written by a nutter who is so conflicted that he borders on schitzophrenia. Typical libdhimmi plot though, savages wonderful but need white liberal leadership to fully actuallize their wonderfulness, almost the entire plot line of a useless liberal life.
After years of having their economies undermined by self annointed "Dances with Wolves" types, the Hopi and Navaho tribes have ordered all Greens and Enviros to pack up their 1964 Microbusses and leave their reservations. I wish I could slip a newsreel into the front of Avatar.
I do agree with the story’s primary premise. The Natives own the land and have a right to defend it. If it were just about property rights and defending what is your own rather than just the simpleton idea that “just because we run around in loin cloths makes me right” and “corporations and the military are evil” then it wouldn’t be so bad. However this isn’t a new tack with Cameron nor original.
