Here’s what I find interesting about all the stolen land claims: the same folks who say this country was founded on stolen land are the same ones who advocate for open borders and abolishing private property.
There must be a better word, because, ‘conquered’ doesn’t sound much better than ‘stolen’.
The land was developed by those that came from foreign lands and civil societies were created, and little by little, we ended up with the greatest country ever known on the planet.
Conquered means that we fought for it, and took it from whoever was there before. Anyhow, we’re her now, and the past is the past, and we now have to move forward.
We civilized and modernized and organized. Give me a better word than conquered.
AMEN!!!
“Give me a better word than conquered”
From your own writings, how about developer.
So, since we got there first, does the United States own the moon?
I noticed the author in that link gave no glory to God.
Good one.
How about "spear-won," as the Macedonians used to say? Anyway, "Conquered" sounds just fine with me.
Exactly.
west has White-Envy
(noun)
When non-whites who live in a predominately white culture feel envious of society because their ancestors lacked the skills, knowledge, and ambitions of others in the dominant culture, often resulting in resentment and demands for reparations instead of accepting personal responsibility for their own situation and working to improve their lives through hard work, discipline, and other ethical means of achieving success and happiness
I acknowledge: this land was conquered but is being sold to the lowest bidder now.
If we owned the moon, we could moon the world
We descendants of the Palatinate agree.
Nope.
Conquered is good.
It’s reasonable to expect us to learn from the past.
It’s unreasonable to expect us to fix the past.
Western Europeans are about to commit suicide. Eastern Europeans aren’t that much better off because the Slavs are fighting each other to death.
