“Stolen land”. I’m not sure I can think of any land that was not taken over by force at one time or another. But the difference is, was it for the better or not? The American natives were not always native and fought and “stole” as much as anyone and did not really make anything better for those they conquered. Torture was rampant, slavery was common. Although some say Europeans “stole” America and may even be partially true to some respect, we have learned to become more civilized in our ways. Well, most of us, libtards excluded.

Think of purebred dogs. People want them but they die younger.

Captain Cook felt Hawaiians would have been better off if he never arrived. Polynesians were cannibals-ate brains. They practiced sacrificial killings by rowing across oceans to capture their prey. Commodore Perry opened up Japan, an island nation that couldn’t leave their neighbors alone.
Gunboat diplomacy kept China from coming together as a nation. Let’s not forget the missionaries.
