The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

They are not colonists. They are from there.

Not really. They’re “from” wherever they’re from. If I follow your logic, then I’m “from” Germany and have the right to go back and demand land and housing in Germany. Or at least ask them to move aside and “share” since they’re “from there” also, even though they’re “actually already there.” Likewise England, where I have forbearers. And if DNA tests are at all accurate, then I have some claims in France, Sweden and Denmark too.

No. I’m “from” where I’ve been for the last 50 years. Saying people who are “taking back” land because possibly someone they’re distantly related to 2000 years ago lived there is nonsense. We might as well welcome the Navajo to reoccupy Arizona and Utah, and forcibly remove the white settlers who have been there for the last 200 years.
