Reactions to Actions

Pushes, surges and drives
generate a certain degree of regression.
It's post inertia lag and drag,
It happens to conquering armies.

Every advance creates reversal.

In social terms, it works like this:
The colonists swallow the colonized.
Eventually, the colonists get swallowed by the colonized.
Progress swallows them both.
