- xupybd 9y agoI'm always unsure how to view historic land ownership. It seems a very recent development that humanity has stopped stealing land from one another and it's been great. But now that we're not doing it anymore, many compare historic actions to today's values and say they were wronged. In many sense they were wronged but there is not a person on earths who ancestors didn't have land stolen from them. It's only the land that was most recently stolen that causes issues. Given the amount of time that has past and the complexities around the issue I just don't see any solution that could be considered fair. Someone has since purchased the stolen land and views them selves as the rightful owner but the person that should have inherited the land also has a claim to it.
