I can mostly agree with the rest of your points. But how many species are killing off thousands of other species in such a short time frame?
- NikolaNovak 3y agoAnd that's absolutely an argument I will support! and very much do care about. It's just a fundamentally different argument to "Well clearly, arbitrary species A here at some arbitrary time B is the natural and morally right owner of these lands".
- generic92034 3y agoAs long as this is not seen as justification to displace any other species just when we feel like it (because they probably displaced some other species), I can agree.
