618. Saying "indigenous people" marks a sentence as containing racial stereotypes [1]
618. a day when someone owned Texas / a day when someone owned Kansas / a day when someone owned Virginia / a day when Alaska was a commodity -> trying to explain socialist transition to people is like trying to explain dimensions to each other in Flatland. but I feel like one of the easiest ways to start is to try to make people familiar with the concept that republics weren't always republics "governed by the people" and they were once free-floating commodities just like businesses are. Texas isn't any specific person's property now; it isn't conflated with any specific individual that is Texas. at one time it was. can you imagine living back then? what if you were advocating for that?
618. Alaska purchase (1867)
618. "Social construct" is a social construct / Most of the time anarchists talk about social constructs they are trying to imply that things that are undesigned or that come out of interacting elements are deliberately engineered Ideals, but because this overall way of thinking is Idealist, it is also fair to say that anarchists are not working with a model that is well checked against reality and their theory of a given "social construct" being "constructed" is equally as made up as the "social construct" is if not more [2] -> sounds like a deepity until you realize what it's really saying and then your mind is blown
     this is how you get out of what I referred to in another entry as "Gerson Boom BS". you realize what Idealism is and how it obscures whatever non-Idealist relationships between things may exist
618. eclecticism (strawberry Materialism; combination of Idealism and Materialism) [3]
618. dualism (separation between Ideals and the Material)
