nebris" ‘ontology’ is just another word for colonialism" Silliness is the nicest word I can use here.
This is some Phd candidate stretching post- structuralist blather to the breaking point. And it's another psyops piece trying to use White Guilt to keeping fighting the Indigenous war against Anglo-European Culture that was lost long ago.
The Center Piece of the struggle is the Sainthood of the Native American Peoples, which is an absolute myth. They were and are just like humans everywhere else; aggressive and predatory. The highest Pre-Columbian civilizations were just as Imperialist and Expansionist as every culture in Europe or Asia.
But the Sanctification of the First Nations is *essential* to the psyops warfare against Anglo-European Culture, however fruitless such a struggle may be. I do not say that sneeringly. If I was a Native American, I'd fight that war, too. That is what *we* humans do.
In that context, taking an ancient and well established epistemological term like Ontology and labeling it 'colonialist' is weak and derivative. She gets a C. Of course the Nihilistic dishwater faux-Stalinists in American Academia's Cultural Studies will probably lap this hoo-hah right up.
