Your delusional pipeline comment:

First, you need to understand the nature of Indigenous countries. Prior to and during invasion, Europeans were not coming to some "undiscovered land" bullshit, but they were landing in foreign countries. The French sailed and planted down in Dawnland/Wabanaki but more specifically in one district of Mi'kma'ki. The expansion westward in the Manifesting a Genocidal Destiny was the invasion, settlement and colonisation of many hundreds of prairie countries like nêhiyaw-askiy (Plains Cree Country), Očhethi Šakówiŋ (Dakota/Lakota Country), Niitsítpiis-stahkoii (Blackfeet Country), Anishinaabewaki (Ojibwe/Chippewa Country), Nʉmʉnʉʉ Sookibotʉ (Comanche Country), Dinétah (Navajo Country), Apsáalooke Issawua (Crow Country) and many, many, many more. These are lands that have and had boundaries, that were and are named and are known to be the countries of these various nations

Ignoring the US for a second because every single treaty the US has every signed with an Indigenous nation has been broken. In Canada, treaties are kinda well-regarded (comparatively anyhow), for the treaties (like the US, but the US ignores this) form the literal foundation for the State of Canada. Weird, I know, but it is true. It is like how the Treaties of Versailles and other European ones are the literal foundation for the States of Europe we know today

British Columbia is a good example where majority of the province covers untreatied or unceded lands. This means that where treaties elsewhere in Canada allowed foreign citizens protected and negotiated through the Crown to settle in these foreign (Indigenous) countries. However, as protected through Delgamuukw which asserted §35 of the Constitution and §25 of the Charter which both in turn entrenched the rights of the Royal Proclamation of 1763 ... these decisions (and more are coming like one in Ontario and one with Secwépemc) all state that Indigenous countries do indeed maintain aboriginal title and rights to their countries as countries (though not quite stated as such)

Right now, there are about ~60 countries within and across the borders of BC, only about 15 or so are protected by historical or modern treaties. Otherwise, the rest of the countries and their citizens remain as subjects protected by and from the Crown.

The pushing through of a pipeline across Secwepemcúl̓ecw, through Wet'suwet'en Yin'tah or even through the treatied lands of Očhethi Šakówiŋ (Great Sioux Nation; Laramie Treaty) amounts to invasion of internal foreign countries and is a continuation of the same types of colonisation that began on this continent about 500 years back. Parts of their countries are being cordoned off by developers and development, taken away from the rights of that or those governments who traditionally and legally oversee those lands and you have the gall to say that that is not stealing their land

Please, please, please, please read these two books. One is easy and impactful, and the other is dense but also impactful. They should shine a bit of a light onto what is going on.

The first, Unsettling Canada, helps place everything into the correct spotlight and gives a great overview of the situation. There are millions of other American books like "American Apartheid" and "An American Genocide" that do similar work for the States, but Unsettling Canada is a fun, easy read for the most part.

The second, Secwépemc People, Land and Laws, is an excellent tome on the history of just one country: Secwepemcúl̓ecw. It goes through their 12,000 year history of solid occupation of their lands, showing cross-disciplinarily how they have lived and worked their country for those thousands of years. It should give an idea of how laws, at least from the Cascadian Plateau part of this continent, are formed and how the countries consider themselves. There is a heartbreaking passage about a BC highway extension that destroyed an immensely culturally important landmark in the form of some rock formations that should help shed some light on what modern-day land seizures look like and what toll it takes on the cultures whose lands are being stolen

I agree with /u/keyilan that its not too late to go back to school in your 30s. I started my PhD at 33. I have a friend who started her MA (and is now in a PhD program) in her 50s. That being said, if you have a stable job you're happy with and want to avoid going into debt, and if you're not completely and totally sure you want to pursue a degree in anthropology, then it's probably better to be an autodidact.

Anyway, here's some suggestions for some stuff on sociocultural anthropology methodology (and historical descriptions of such things) that may be of interest to you.

Research Methods in Anthropology: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches by H. Russel Bernard (he is the methods guy in sociocultural anthro--and this book is rather dry but super detailed and will teach you all the basics of anthro methodology.)

Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples by Linda Tuhiwai Smith (a classic text in indigenous methods.)

Participant Observation and The Ethnographic Interview by James Spradley

Fieldwork Is Not What It Used To Be edited by James Faubion and George Marcus (I have not read this, but have heard good things about it.)

Before Boas: The Genesis of Ethnography and Ethnology in the German Enlightenment by Han Vermeulen (this is a history of ethnographic methods rather than a book about methodology, but it's super interesting.)

an excerpt from one of my other posts. In a word, self hate white worship through a combo of brainwashing, hypergamy, and also lots of FOBS who fall way short of Western styled masculinity (eg too nerdy looking.) BTW, this is also why East Asian men do really badly relatively speaking. There are so many nerdy ones there. I see this less so with South Asians.

 

What do you mean mind control?

First, some proof. Do you admire Winston Churchill and British pursuit of "free trade" with China? You do? Did you know?.... http://i.imgur.com/Wfjq2ty.jpg

 

How does mind control work?

Here's an explanation by Frank Chin (https://www.sendspace.com/file/rcc58h) or you can read the stuf below...

The model is simple.

● cherry pick, exaggerate, make up all the good whites do. hide the bad. eg Christians built all these hospitals and schools. ignore http://www.amazon.com/Pagans-Promised-Land-Christian-Discovery/dp/1555916422/

● cherry pick, exaggerate, make up all the bad non-whites do. hide the good. eg Tibetan genocide that never occurred. ignore http://english.cntv.cn/2014/10/18/VIDE1413584528072923.shtml

 

It starts when you're young...http://i.imgur.com/nVH6lQE.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/fV7PBJL.jpg

 

But why? Why do they hate themslves? Why do they pull up negative stories? Here are some for those who are Chinese....http://i.imgur.com/6GgL2fo.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/3r13sl5.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/7IKlQVU.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/pDDIOMf.jpg

 

In dating/love, they use lies like oppressive, misogynistic, tiny penises, rapey, super violent, but also nerdy and girly, etc

 

Why do they also worship whites? You're told about "Western values" like human rights, freedom, democracy, "all men are created equal". Well, how do you explain this?...http://i.imgur.com/UaORZPs.jpg

 

In dating/love, they use lies like egalitarian, bigger penises, less rapey, less violent, etc

This book is amazing.

Don't forget your latest adventure in the middle east.

I attended a second this morning and it's first lecture last Sunday morning at St. Francis of the Foothills in Tucson presented by University of Arizona, College of Law Professor Melissa Tatum on Native American Rights and Lands. The "free exercise of religion" for Native Americans is quite complex. Dr. Tatum and Dr. Shaw recently published "Law, Culture and the Environment" which provided several relevant case studies.

Bottom line is: All your attacks should leave whites fearing for their life, fearing that their sick rape of the mind will be exposed, and their crimes brought to light. That's the litmus test. Do your actions directly harm the cause? (white racist control)."


----------------------------------------------

I'm saying Asian women are WEAK to not be able to break free. People who cannot break free are usually LOST CAUSES. And MOST OF THE ASIAN WOMEN ARE LIKE THIS. And a lot of them even KNOW they are racist, which is why they are WILLING COLLABORATORS.

They are not just mind-controlled drones. Looking at stupid bitches like Jen Ang or whatever who said "never date an Asian man", she fully recognizes her own racism.
You will be surprised HOW MANY Asian women are fully COGNIZANT of their racism and they WANT to BREED OUT THE ASIAN and BECOME WHITE, by having HALF WHITE CHILDREN. who they HOPE to go on to marry more whites and eventually are absorbed. Too bad a lot of their sons turn out Asian looking.

Why the fuck you think so many Asian women go through insane crazy jaw and nose and eye surgeries, those that have very flat faces or flat noses or tiny eyes? They HATE their own features because they DECIDED that white is superior. One part brainwashing OTHER PART DECISION.

This is same tactic goblins used to convince Native American women to self genocide. One part brainwashing other part WILLING COLLABORATOR.

It is a CHOICE. Brainwashing is only PART OF IT.

If you were a jew in the concentration camp told to gas fellow jews, would you choose to do it or not? Not knowing whether the promises about sparing you are true or not. There is the REAL test of willpower and MORALS. This is the CHOICE that shows where ones' loyalty lies and how good of a heart they have.
