#### Land Acknowledgments

|
|
|
-- We both exist here, but the land is currently used in a way which benefits me over you
|
|
|
-- This land would have been yours, but prior men used this land in such a way which has caused you to underperform. Poor you, you perform so poorly.
|
|
|
-- We both live on this land but its history also tells of why you can't accomplish as much as me and need a helping hand from me before you can ever be my equal. In the best case, I have pity on you and see you as les capable because of some psychological phenomenon affecting people who have a physical form resembling you or meeting a physical criteria.
|
|
|
-- Even if we have everything else equal in this world - in fact, even if you are healthier, wealthier and better looking - you will never be as great as I can become.
|
|
|
-- In the worst case, I think that those who have structural advantages in the sense of political power, social wealth, and the time to allocate towards implementing structural/systemically discernible effects (that is to say, in the word of law) are not only using a concept alleged to represent you in order to gain even more power for themselves while diminishing my own, but you are facilitating it because:
|
|
|
- - a) You believe it will give you power
|
|
|
- - b) You are receptive to stories which describe you as unfortunate because of your weaknesses and pathologies
|
|
|
- - c) You are part of the plan -> active in having formulated it
|

|
-It takes faith to claim that a particular piece of land is your birthrite, that any who have proposed there not of your bloodline or within an accepted relative range of genetic variability have performed a terrible injustice, or at least that you are owed some form of compensation or royalty or tribute because whatever you had done hasn't been enough to feel you are able to move on from the past, even if the past too is a fable and one which was not your own.

+When first confronted with the land acknowledgment, spectators of the event, as inhabitants of this shared environment, contemplate that the land is used differently for different people. Is it that people make decisions about how to use the land that they have, the land of the space in which they are present, and public land which they generally share with other inhabitants? Is it that the land is used by those in positions of authority such that the less fortunate are affected differently from others? You might say that the notion that people make decisions about how to use their land, or the public spaces, is something which shouldn't be expressed, because it problematizes and complicates the circumstances of some, their thoughts, and the possibility of us addressing the fact that not everyone has an equal standing or enjoys life and resources in a manner equivalent to everyone else.

+The land is currently used in a way which benefits some over others, because it was used differently by some over others in the past. That it was used differently in the past could have been because someone was in the space of the land beforehand, but it's actually put forward that it was a particular change of hands which changed the manner in which we are to think about land ownership, and that this is so intensely important that we are to ignore other changes of hands which may have taken place, by virtue of the fact that we are not going to perform a near-infinite regression to ascertain what person or animal was first in a given space. We are only concerned with the last change of hands "of interest" whereby the state has declared that the former holder in that exchange was legitimate and harmonious, and that any owner since that time is illegitimate in the sense that they reduce survivability of others.

+The land could have belonged to a different "type" f person, but prior men have used this land in such a way which has caused others to underperform. Poor people performed so poorly because they didn't expect how immediate and real it would be to change situations and have a new perspective? Well, no, they performed poorly because others were treated unfairly in the past......
|
|
|

|
|
|
+That prior men have used a land calls into question whose usage was last a legitimate use. That is, one which accords with the harmony of the world, rejects the temptation to perform disharmonic action, and which is in line with the trajectory towards resolving unwanted harmonic friction and alleviating the world of sources of disharmony.

|
+We both live on this land but its history also delineates the limits of all our potential accomplishments. The history of this land weights the handicap necessary to be imposed such as to bring about our equality. In the best case, he whomsoever has a more advantageous foundation can have pity on the other and see them as less capable. The sub-capable reality of the other is to be pondered upon as a psychological phenomenon and a resource accessibility issue, with each of these being wrought upon the other as per their having a physical form which resembles some criteria.

+Even if we have everything else equal in this world, and even if the other is physically healthier, wealthier, and better looking, they can never be as great as what the historically advantaged can become. In the worst case, those with structural advantages in the form of political power, social wealth, and the tim to allocate towards implementing structural/systemically discernible effects, such as the word of the law, are not only using a concept alleged to represent the other in order to gain even more power for themselves while diminishing that other, but are being facilitated by the other who believe this affordance will grant more power to themselves. This is made even worse still by demonstrating an affinity to receive stories which describe you, the other, as unfortunate because of weaknesses and pathologies. Being part of such a plan and being active in its formulation further cements the other's place as inferior.

You cannot possibly have misused any land because you are the root race, in tune with the species being, and the land comes out of you. You are the land and the land is you, thus nay use of it under your time spent here is always subject to the dictates and arbitrary authority shared by you and the state. If all is well, you are regarded as a miracle, and your accomplishments grander beyond all comprehension, as a divine act.
