Revisiting Joe Atwill dissing 1 Flew over cuckoo's Nest


Regarding Chief Bromdem or Chief Broom in Ken Kesey's Novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest:  "His heritage aligns Chief with the natural world, a world that his white mother conspired to destroy when she influenced Chief's father to sell his tribal lands. This sale enabled the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the Columbia River, representing Chief's first experience of the victory of mechanization over the natural world. He remembers that his mother kept getting "bigger" while his father "shrunk" into alcoholism and despair. Insult is added to injury when Chief is forced to adopt his mother's white name, Bromden, rather than his father's Indian name." https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/o/one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest/character-analysis/chief-bromden

23:38 Notice how Joe Atwill EPICALLY FAILS to mention The 1FlewOverthe Cuckoo's Nest Character Chief Bromdem in the novel IS in fact  Half Breed Native American / Half White American from a Columbia River Basin and the  historical disrespect For American Indians & First people  with All the HORRORS specific to A Columbia River Native:  of Hanford Nuke waste dump, Dams, losing the subsistAnce  fishing  all this subjugation, humiliation, genocide, Indian Boarding schools,  Multigenerational PTSD with Bromdem's Father suffering alcoholism  -reduces all that complex trauma to fraudulent DSM-V pharmaceutical Industry label "schizophrenia" Denying Historical Trauma.    Chief Broom uses "a control panel" rather than destroys & removes "control panel" to escape sterile  cruel institution & captivity. Oh but the novel according to Atwill  & Jan Irvin is pushing  returning to wilderness to be a savage WILD hedonistic idiot?  REALLY?    When there's no such scene being a hedonistic wild Idiot except  the character  R.P. McMurphy's Fatal Flaw! Getting Drunk & failing escape, compromising Billy Bibbit with a whore etc.   CONTRARY to the Redeemed mixed white & American Indian heritage!) .  What a  racist bigot!
