Berbers have always been historically fucked over by Arabs, their language has pretty much been replaced by Arabic, what the French did was nothing compared to what the Arabs did to Berbers.

Dude the whole beginning essay is a critique of rational egoism which was meant to usher in a utopia. It's also an embrace of human arrogance and the inherent freedom underlying our every choice
