colonization vs. land back

okay i'm aware this is gonna come off as a HUGE reach for many people and i'm okay with that bc i haven't seen anyone else talk about these concepts in lost. even if im wrong, i at least hope it gets people thinking about this when ruminating on their love of the show (which i share).

after rewatching lost again i can't help but arrive to the conclusion that the big "villains" (ben, charles) are white dudes trying to exploit the resources of the island. these men think they are special and entitled to the power of the island and treat it as a thing despite claiming to see its sentience.

then you have Hurley, Walt and Miles. these characters are actually "special". Miles is pretty problematic in terms of intentions and values so he's not the best example but i digress.

it's not super clear who the indigenous inhabitants of the island were--some Egyptian references point to Africans, but if the island is always moving in time and space then who knows.

also! Jacob and Man in Black's biological mother was straight up murdered by that lady with no information as to where she came from but anyone who's murdering defenseless people should not be trusted! which calls into question everything Jacob knows to be true and shares with his candidates.

i'm thinking myself in circles at this point but anyway, #LandBack! i believe the island is safe in the hands of Hurley!

as for Jack, he is ultimate ally! which is why i assume soooo many Lost fans love him.

before anyone asks "why make it about race?" why not? the show is literally about so many things, conflicts between people and clashing cultures are all deeply rooted in the storytelling and intrinsic to all forms of media so don't discredit the real integrity of Lost by acting like it was ever color-blind!
