Gotta love JC Scott. Hey, extorting from cultivators sounds cool, maybe slow it down, make 'em reconsider? But as fun as that must have been, what were the outcomes in the end? I refuse to concede to the Parable of the Tribes, and might be hoping beyond hope that any of my actions is a seed that sets real root somehow, someway. The main thing I'm doing is strengthening wildlife's homes, no harm & might do some good, at least for a while. But I don't know if there's any way to totally escape the power paradigm, or even to any meaningful extent. What do you think?
