The hypothetical spaghetti western saddletramp individualist who just goes from place to place, meeting ppl, getting into adventures, etc. is a non-entity for colonization esp. if living outside the template of normal society. The real problem is the stateification, institutionalization and capitalization of a place. There’s a difference between the saddletramp and, say, Abraham Lincoln laying down railroad tracks over indian land to build the industrial economy.
