Since the beginning of colonial occupation, Indigenous people have warned others about the dystopian customs of colonialism, capitalism, and industrialization. However, despite the predictive ability of early Indigenous political thought, their warnings were disregarded as the white ruling class established violent and unsustainable institutions. The genocide of Indigenous people and the devaluation of their knowledge production contributed to our inability to heed their warnings and divest from these institutions. As a result, our planet edges closer to ecological decline due to a corporate-induced climate apocalypse. Additionally, western governments maintain an iron grip on the Global South's resources through insidious and brutalizing practices. Many of those in power are invested and loyal to the barbaric systems in place to further exploit vulnerable populations.
