Environments being urban does not preclude them from being in nature

often the land *was* cultivated. food forests and landscape management already existed, it just didn't fit the mold of how european colonists thought it *should* look like

Bourgeois economists are a stain on this earth

All land is stolen btw

Not all undeveloped land is in a natural state… a lot of previously cultivated land graduated to being overrun by invasive species so you have like sterile masses of kudzu and forests overgrown with privet that are ecologically useless. Even native species under unnatural influence like ex. fire suppression resulting in areas that would have been regularly burned into say pine savanna with insanely diverse groundcover now instead net you impassable thickets of hardwoods and greenbriars.

Undeveloped colonials that slept too close to their own children and their cattle…

Not really, as humans are animals and were originally more primate like. Once permanent settlements began and cultures solidified, then invasions and colonization would be stealing yes

Yeah to show you the origins? If you’re only looking at the last 1000 years then you’ll only see land that is already lived in and that would hurt your argument because there wouldn’t be any stealing to see😂

No, the land was CONQUERED. If you live in the US, you live on conquered land. If you feel so strongly about it, why aren't you giving your property to descendants of the proper Native American tribe?

I agree with you buddy 😭 My point is that all land was either nature conquered by humans or humans land conquered by other humans.

From who??? This is such a vacuous brain-melting statement made by an ignoramus creature of stunning density. Land being owned is a modern concept you can’t steal something that wasn’t owned btw

This is such a stupid sentiment. Land back is much more than literally giving property, plus who even owns property anymore? There are so many ways to be anticolonial and these types of sentiments just legitimize settler colonial attitudes toward land

don’t hate me, but I’m pretty sure the Native Americans were like, “oh, you want to buy this thing that nobody owns? those beads look cool. you got a deal.” … “fuck. smallpox blankets.” … “waaa! trail of tears” … “🤑gaming” … “🙌originalist jurisprudence”

Bro the natives settled that land, developed society, then Europeans came and destroyed that to mostly spread Christianity and take over the land, how ironic that the religion that emphasizes morality the most has led to such evil (not hating on Christianity just those who use to to justify evil), and don’t get me started on the Spanish missions where natives were rounded up, beaten, starved, and abused in every way possible, this time purely for religious conversation
