we need each other

Arianna is out there waxing altruistic in a much too limp and open for galaxies of groupthink deceit, but it's headed in the right direction... which is a thing the controllers pour tainted into the mainstream when they can tell we're trying to wake up.

I have, for at least twenty years, known for certain that indians—called "Native Americans" by the PC, which indians are NOT—had the most advanced culture humanly possible, ever since I decided to get my ass into some serious libraries and find out exactly WHAT was the state of the tribes upon their encounters with wasichu. I was shocked to find that what "we" had taken for primitive, or even savage, was in fact far advanced from anything "we" brought to these shores, and not just for that time, but also for this time. Technology is not completely out of place in them, but STUPID technology is.

Yes, if you are solid with your community, or think you can be, go for it. But be careful what you choose to call your community. Tribes, communities, don't actually work so well for living things unless they are based in a common ideology or belief system, some thread based more on the spiritual than the material. This has been proven thousands and thousands of times over the course of all known history. Sometimes it was mandatory to go to another tribe to find a mate, and sometimes just going to another clan of your tribe was good enough. Wars were not wars as we think of them. They were like we think of as war games. Their purpose was to keep the men ready to defend the women and children, against man, beast or natural disaster, to keep men men, WITHOUT slaughter. There were many other things designed toward this end, and directed toward maintaining their advanced society through the millennia. I mention "culture" and "society" in the singular, despite the number of tribes, because they all shared the same culture, the same society—only the words and traditions and other metaphors differing, sometimes more, sometimes hardly at all.

I read a letter from the Cherokee council of chiefs to the President of the United States and realized it all, everything else I'd read fell into place like the tumblers in a safe about to open its secrets to you. They were trying to civilize "us". Wasichu is too thick with exceptionalism to even notice the most blatant bid for his enlightenment.

Each tribe's name translated from their language into "The People" or "True Humans", in the sense of we-are-human-beings, NOT like "The Chosen", as in we're better than everyone else and God has picked us to get everything we want. Today, they are collectively known as "First Nations"—which is exactly right. They were here first, at least in relation to "us". Insofar as that makes them feel "chosen", we, and their ancestors, should not, would not, do not, approve. Insofar as that gives us humility and informs us, we should contemplate it with everything we've got.

So you should be picking the people you know you trust, no matter where they are, right now. Right now. And if you don't think you have a good enough handle on trust itself, maybe I can help make that clearer to you. Just ask.
