An American Project

The project of the American founding fathers, pioneers and settlers was the dumbest project undertaken in human history. They came into landscapes where human cultures often lived largely communally and operated within the greater web of life and proceeded to biotically and ethnically cleanse the lands and re-form them into private plots where individuals would toil for themselves and "the market," for bosses or in slave labor camps. They also initiated dystopian enterprises such as fur trading species to their extinction point and fishing species to their extinction point. We have not even begun to comprehend the depth of the stupidity of their project.
