ok i stopped a rest.stop to answer your question cos there is a lot of traffic at the bridge & i didnt want to sit in it.

ok, so, to me, this kind of thinking is so overbroad as to be really hard to address.

'human population management' as a term strikes me as really unwell.

like the premise & the thinking is way too far out to even begin to say anything.

like, first of all, what do you mean by europeans & during what time period cos even that is so overbroad as to be really hard to address. if i had to i'd just be like: no that's wrong about europeans

reeling it all the way in to not even the haudenosaunee but specifically a single mohawk village in the 1600s.. these villages lasted in a single location for about 30 years before they depleted immediate surrounding resources & moved to another location to give that land time to rest & recover. to understand these villages in the simplest most concise terms i can manage: imagine 3 large families having a family reunion bbq permanently like that is what life is. like you just live with a whole bunch of people you are deeply related to. like every single person is your sibling or aunt or grandma or uncle. like the level of drama but also how nice it is but also deeply annoying like if anything is even slightly wrong everyone knows you so well they are like: what's wrong & you can't be like: nothing w/o them making fun of you for withholding what is clearly wrong.
