Guilt and crime

 

The humiliating theft

"Poverty and constant misery was caused by European contamination.

Foreign habits, traditions, religion and blood,
those were the culprits; they’d ruined everything. If only
traditional Mexico could be recovered, the reasoning went,
if a way could be found back to how things used to be, then
the old joy, power, wealth and prestige, they’d come back too."

 

 

 

Finally, a more...volitile version of the seed idea
that a fundamental identity exists and intrinsically
holds rights, especially terrotorial ones.
This is a good depiction of the forces
the humiliator seeks to exploit.
