Or be native
- ipaddr 1y agoNatives signed treaties which are still respected today.
- yieldcrv 1y agoThe level of respect is per treaty, a blanket statement cant be corroborated as many are not respected or dont have consensus amongst the affected people of being respected
- mc32 1y agoOr lose a war, or bet your property or not pay taxes or eminent domain… but I guess nomads never had a immovable property claim.
- __MatrixMan__ 1y agoThe natives lost something, to be sure, but I'm not sure it was property. Property is created when you kick everyone else out. I assume that's the rationale behind "property is theft," it used to be everybody's and now it's yours.
- gtowey 1y agoYou're correct. They didn't lose property as they had no legal concept of ownership. Instead they lost their homes, their culture, and their lives. How lucky for them!

- immibis 1y agoNot sure what you're talking about here
- mhb 1y agoA clue is that history did not start in 1948.
- immibis 1y agoCan you say what you mean please?
- mhb 1y agoYou felt compelled to parade your ignorance by inserting this cheap shot about "Palestinians" into an unrelated discussion. What I mean by ignorance is joining the uninformed masses bleating about "genocide" and "colonialists". Presumably imagining that Jewish people arrived in Palestine de novo at some point in the 19th or 20th century and conquered the native Arab "Palestinians" there. That's what I mean.
