@skinnylatte if you haven’t read Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz’s book “An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States” I’d highly recommend it. It’s a good overview of how colonialism and counterinsurgent war built the United States, and how the legacy of those two systems pervade our current situation. As a white guy born in the land of Manifest Destiny Colorado it was really illuminating. https://www.beacon.org/An-Indigenous-Peoples-History-of-the-United-States-P1164.aspx
