Well your country may have been on stolen land, what if you had a group of people near you that wanted to take the land back by force; are you willing to give up your own house?
The whole question is absurd, you're not going to, and you're also not going to let them continue attacking you, because your desire to save your family from rape and murder is greater than your empathy.
if I was living in a stolen house then yes, I would rather our government come to a fair agreement with the people... to act as if we'd all just condone a genocide when many of us don't even have a say in the matter is just nonsensical.
you're trying to rationalize away an active genocide like it's still the era of colonization...which again was wrong
i think we should form sub nations with the Indians we dominated over here but we're wAyyy too late for that, we're not for this.its something actively going on. you seem to be forgetting that part
So you live on indigenous land you're saying, but you're not in a stolen house?
palestinians were established well before israel existed.
That argument falls when it's well-known that the gov deliberately pushes efforts for more illegal settlements... so yeah, not really your house..
If my house was built on land that was taken after murdering the people there, then I would deserve to have my house burned down, feelings are irrelevant.
So non-native Canadians and the Americans should give up all their land back to the indigenous and move back to Europe?
Well yes, in practice that's not feasible, but we should be giving land back to native groups. In reality humans have migrated throughout history, I don't disagree with the concept of settling necessarily but groups that were subject to genocide and forced expulsion deserve reparations.
When are you going to drop the "won't somebody please think of the children" bomb?
