What are the connections between capitalism, patriarchy, imperialism and genocide?
When the wealthy landowners of Imperialist societies decided to garner the wealth of foreign lands that they did not own; they faced a predicament of sorts. How could they claim to be able to have rights on the lands so far away when they had never been to them?
They solved this with Papal Bulls like the doctrine of discovery and government legislation such as eminent domain. These rules created under law (rules of law) were used to justify the subjegation of foreign lands for the benefit of wealthy landowners.
Wars were fought to establish whom had the right to wield these powers abroad. The dominant nations of the time; England, France, Spain, Portugal, Holland followed by USA, Germany became the colonizers of these foreign lands.
The existing populations were subjugated along with everything else that was found or would be found.
The rule of law was established by those making the rules and the laws. Who could hold them to account? Nobody cared to hear or to ask that question as there would be no question as to who would be at the tail end of that.
Indigenous Peoples around the world have endured endless atrocities with little to no recourse for their injuries across centuries. Centuries that have seen the colonialist powers jostle for and cement their imaginary 'rights' with a severe lack of 'responsibilities' for their actions or lack thereof.
In today's modern world; people of society at large act as if people are not being bombed to death. It's no surprise to me because they have looked the other way while children were torn from their parents in order to 'deal with the Indian problem'. They have judged and condemned anyone who has dared step out of the imaginary lines society has drawn to remain inside of. They have sneered at and belittled anyone who has less than them and taught their children the same.
Be fooled no longer: The ones who do this and enable others to do so are your neighbours, co-workers and live in the same country as we do. They are the same ones who continue to vote in corrupt, inept and belligerent governments in order to maintain their standard of living.
If you want to know who the enemy is; look at their bank accounts, their fancy cars, pensions and pompish garb. All of it smacks of conformity to higher standards than anything the lesser beings deserve. Things like adequate healthcare, clean air and drinking water, nutritious foods, housing, transportation, childcare, retirement, free time for leisure. How could they afford that without us?
The rule of law does not apply to them because they are the makers of the rules and the laws. Either that or they conform to them and enable the atrocities being committed daily. Their enrichment and pensions depend on them.
As the rule of law does not apply to them; they can bomb, disappear and enslave us at will with zero consequences. By the time enough of us realize that, it may be too late. It may already be as we have let it happen again and again while remaining silent.
Who is speaking up? Where are the feminists? Where are the doctors? Where are the upholders of freedom? Where is the rule of law? It is waiting for you!

Where is the rule of law? It is waiting for you! It doesn't seem to apply to Western Imperialists.
