Joke 161. Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe centers on a character who, arguably, is the embodiment of The Colonist Mentality, as evidenced by his interactions with, and perception of, the native cannibals he encounters while visiting an ‘undiscovered’ island. The protagonist, Crusoe, initially plans to murder the natives, but decides against it, writing that its inhabitants do not “know” their acts are criminal.....However, the work is worth revisiting because of its relevance to today’s instances of Xenophobia, the valuing and devaluing of particular cultures and norms, and the notion that one culture should reign over another. Crusoe’s Colonist Mentality lives on.Source: https://ruminationgarden.org/2016/07/30/robinson-crusoe-by-daniel-defoe-the-colonist-mentality-and-xenophobia-in-the-modern-world-the-valuing-and-devaluing-of-culture/2. After decades of doldrums, Robinson Crusoe's Colonist Mentality and Xenophobia resurfaced in America in 2016 when Trump propagated his "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) policy whose roots could be traced to Navarro's anti-China books based on a fake character which is actually his own alter ego.
