    ACKNOWLEDGED OR NOT, NO SETTLER LAW EXISTS WITHOUT ITS SETTLER LORE #SETTLERPOLITICS #LAWASLORE

    "...modern law emerges, in a negative exaltation, as universal in opposition to the particular, as unified in opposition to the diverse, as omnicompetent in contrast to the incompetent, and as controlling of what has to be controlled (...) law is imbued with this negative transcendence in its own myth of origin where it is imperiously set against certain 'others' who concentrate the qualities it opposes. Such others are themselves creatures of an Occidental mythology, a mythology which denies its own foundation by consigning myth in general to the world of these others." - Peter Fitzpatrick, The Mythology of Modern Law
