Settlers have a hereditary psychic illness that is often overlooked, we have no culture. We have no shared history other than the crimes of the generations before so we escape into fiction.

Indigenous peoples have had direct assaults on their culture and theft of their ancestral lands but they still have remnants of their culture and ways to connect with the land even if someone else claims ownership of it.

Settlers have no culture. We aren’t home where we were born and we aren’t welcomed in the land out ancestors abandoned or were pushed out of. We might know how to cook a traditional dish or two from our ancestral culture. Or maybe there is a story or two we were told that goes back to the old country. All we have is this fake bullshit entertainment to use to relate to one another.
