Terrible take on many levels, this assumes those indigenous populations would never have undergone their own industrial revolutions.
For reasons ranging from ‘noble savage’ to racist implications that they couldn’t if they tried.
This is such a gross misreading of the post lol
It literally says “Indigenous people have shown” and not something about them having some innate characteristics that result in their living in balance with the earth. It should be obvious that their idologiy and culture is meant by the post, as it is exactly that what other can actually learn from many indigenous peoples and it is alao exactly what colonialism is actively destroying
Absolutely not, without colonialism and given enough time Indigenous peoples will always industrialise to the greatest extent possible given the circumstances.
Industrialisation is in direct opposition to this idealised ‘harmonious’ living with the land.
You’re falling afoul of the noble savage fallacy in assuming that these people would not have changed their culture over time, given enough time, and have industrialised themselves.
