"The 'stolen land' argument is a selective, weaponised narrative used only against select nations. Those who invoke it exploit history to undermine the very societies they seek to join. "Nations change, borders shift, and history moves forward—leaving no one innocent. Let’s learn to live together in harmony wherever our ancestors originally hailed from, and let’s respect the right of countries to make reasonable laws about who and how many can move in to stay."
~ Johann Anwar Ryan Smith from his post 'Stolen Land? It’s All Stolen Land: Exploding the myth of settler colonialism'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
