Every square inch of occupied land on earth was “stolen”. The Europeans who came to the Americas acquired the land via the accepted real estate transfer protocols of the natives; conquest.

Yes they all want revenge against those who never did anything to them.
Imagine the logic that some poor innocent person should be stolen from because of perceived historical mistakes by a nation?

The answer to this is to put their damn criminal asses in jail.

We need federal laws passed to stop practices like sanctuary cities or legalizing stealing.

Ooh ... late stage capitalism and stolen land. Two classic tells signifying that the author has absolutely nothing competent to say and is resorting to ritual incantations.

Oh good.

I guess all thieves are free to steal whatever they want from Maura Judkis.

Apparently she’s all good with that.

Slaves were shipped aboard ships.

Ships were

- made of wood
- sailed over water
- used sails made of cloth -type materials.

“To be fair,” all leftists, liberals, progressives, socialists, social-Democrats, race hustlers, etc., should be banned from having, using, and, or wearing:

- boats
- ors
- sails
- ships
- wood
- water
- cloth

and probably wind, and hand tools, and iron, silver, gold, copper, brass, bronze, and nickle.

Clocks and watches, too.

Sand . . .

Columbus was an immigrant and brought diversity to North America.

Writers like Hannah-Jones believe that reporters should actively suppress or dismiss stories on such crime to frame public opinion.

Writers like Hannah Jones are one of the reasons newspapers are dying.

She thinks she's special - and that HER values should be pushed on subscribers. In fact, she's a friggin idiot and her managing editor should explain to her that her power comes from the paper buying ink by the train load - NOT the other way around. Then if she doesn't catch on to reality she should be fired.

Washington Post writer Maura Judkis is under fire for mocking
shoplifting stories as the “moral panic” of a nation built on “stolen land.”

Shoplifting is not a big deal for leftist-liberal social Democrats, because:

Some Democrat Party members on the White House staff, have a track record of shoplifting . . .

Warning label on every plan and product of the left:

Just what land on this planet hasn’t been “stolen” many times over?

The “stolen land” theme is being parroted by an increasing number of Leftist mouthpieces, suggesting coordination.

Why? To cast doubts into as many minds as possible as to the justification for DEFENDING your property when they come to take it “in the name of the People”.

The correct word is “conquered”.

“Stolen” gives a sense of furtive acquisition, subject to The Law demanding it be given up.

“Conquered” conveys a sense of “It’s ours now, and we will kill anyone who disputes that”.

Lol. There isnt a patch of land on Earth some folks wont claim was stolen over the course of history. In fact among Indians , the quest for land and power was every bit as bloody here before the British came, were defeated and the west was won.

The author thinks she’s clever. She’s not. She should educate herself (yes, I assumed her gender) on Indian (yes, I did not say Native American) culture so that in the future, she will quit assigning European values and concepts to Indians.
