Where do you draw the line in that argument?
Would you be worried if the same argument and logic were applied to people who arrived in the US after Columbus, or people who arrived in Gaul after the Romans?
If a line can be blurred back to the beginnings of recorded history, then the line doesn't really exist.
>Should we all feel guilty when we visit national parks?
No, you should respect that the national park has a disturbing history, and accept that as part of your national history. Sweeping it under the rug, or using already spurious laws like "eminent domain seizures" to justify it is not going to lead to progress in these matters.
- stvswn 11y agoI didn't say we should sweep it under the rug, I said that there exists context that the original author did not provide. Yes, the history of the population matters in these cases. I don't know where we should draw the line, but I do know that "we should never have military bases if one person has to be relocated" is not the line.
