Fucking idiot. Then nowaday's americans should also be stripped of their possessions an thrown away from their houses because the original folks were there first? Indigenous people are still being targeted for murder, maybe they should defend themselves by bulldozing entire cities and reclaiming the territory. This animal.
According to Ayn Rand and many of her cult's followers like Alan Greenspan, the First Nations didn't "use the land correctly" therefore they were invalid occupants.
Colonialism will use any sophistry necessary to murder and loot.
The whole “the land wasn’t being used” is pretty much the oldest justification for colonialism, it goes back to Locke and those other freaks
step 1: genocide them
step 2: the land reverts to wilderness since you genocided the people who tended it
step 3: look, they arent even using it! IT'S FREE REAL ESTATE!
Colonizers were also famously unable to recognize indigenous agriculture for what it was because it was so labor-efficient and integrated with local ecosystems. I’d imagine this extends to most aspects of indigenous life, even among the larger more centralized civilizations.
"weird how these eastern chestnut forests are a garden of eden even if we are too stupid to know how to use them"
Imagine if indigenous people started stealing lil white kids from their homes, forcing them into indoctrination schools, and then destroying all history of whatever cultural heritage generic white people can claim.
People would lose their minds
