Yes all civilizations throughout time were based around areas with Water

2019-04-27 20:59:44 UTC  

Correct.

2019-04-27 20:59:56 UTC  

Water is the lifeways of all things. Civilization included.

2019-04-27 21:00:01 UTC  

My tribe used rivers as our highways,

2019-04-27 21:00:06 UTC  

It's why we had no roads and few trails.

2019-04-27 21:00:14 UTC  

Rivers were far more efficient since we didn't have beasts of burden.

2019-04-27 21:00:29 UTC  

Plus with rivers we could access the trading cities.

2019-04-27 21:00:39 UTC  

Using the Mississippi to reach cities like Cahokia for example.

2019-04-27 21:01:01 UTC  

So you are a left-wing

2019-04-27 21:01:09 UTC  

Eh,

2019-04-27 21:01:15 UTC  

I don't like using the terms left or right.

2019-04-27 21:01:28 UTC  

I prefer to identify by my actual stances since they don't all fit into one category or the other.

2019-04-27 21:01:34 UTC  

Okay lay em out

2019-04-27 21:01:47 UTC  

In our culture there's a saying, left and right are two wings to the same brain dead bird.

2019-04-27 21:02:14 UTC  

Well, I support LGBT stuff obviously, believe in traditional values though for us that's different than for you,

2019-04-27 21:02:24 UTC  

Most of my values are based on our traditions actually.

2019-04-27 21:03:03 UTC  

Which is to say matriarchy, clan governance, respect for LGBT, avoid wars for reasons other than defense, take care of our elderly, young and disabled, collectivized resources to a degree, etc.

2019-04-27 21:03:22 UTC  

The American group I align most with is progressives.

2019-04-27 21:03:27 UTC  

But even then it isn't a perfect match.

2019-04-27 21:03:50 UTC  

Because for example, I do not support democacy as it has failed our tribe.

2019-04-27 21:04:02 UTC  

Interesting

2019-04-27 21:04:07 UTC  

Oh yeah

2019-04-27 21:04:18 UTC  

You natives have a matriarch

2019-04-27 21:04:24 UTC  

I forgot

2019-04-27 21:04:26 UTC  

Not all but a lot of us.

2019-04-27 21:04:37 UTC  

My tribe specifically had a Grandmothers Council.

2019-04-27 21:04:41 UTC  

Made up of the female elders.

2019-04-27 21:04:44 UTC  

They chose our chiefs.

2019-04-27 21:05:22 UTC  

Do you know what Alt Right is

2019-04-27 21:05:41 UTC  

That doesn't make much sense

2019-04-27 21:06:00 UTC  

How so?

2019-04-27 21:06:02 UTC  

And kinda.

2019-04-27 21:06:06 UTC  

I know what they appear on the outside,

2019-04-27 21:06:12 UTC  

you have a respect for Traditions, yet the you mostly allign with progressives

2019-04-27 21:06:14 UTC  

But I do not know what Alt-Right is to the Alt-Right.

2019-04-27 21:06:25 UTC  

Because what Americans consider progressive we consider tradition.

2019-04-27 21:06:35 UTC  

@Chemar Different traditions

2019-04-27 21:06:43 UTC  

Right

2019-04-27 21:06:54 UTC  

So you're definitely a left winger lol

2019-04-27 21:06:56 UTC  

We always respected our LGBT, women were not only respected but given huge sociopolitical positions, we took care of all members with housing, good and medicine, and the likes.

2019-04-27 21:07:13 UTC  

So what you consider progressive,
