So all you need to do to get away with theft is wait and move it around a bunch after the initial theft? And the rightful owner loses their right to it?

Like I feel like your perspective sounds nice and empathetic for about three seconds, then you realize you're advocating another ethnic cleansing in response to ethnic cleansing. Or not, I guess it's possible to think ethnic cleansing is good.

No, of course not, don't change the context of the situation to make a point. That's really immature.

I haven't stolen anything is my point. My ancestors moved to USA in the early 1900s, long after the colonization was complete. Am I supposed to give up my property because someone who died 400 years ago was oppressed? I had nothing to do with that, I was just born here.

Are you willing to give up YOUR home if asked? I suspect not, but you didn't come to be there without violence either, right?

So what you're saying is that it's okay to take back the food stolen by a homeless man desperate to feed his kids, right? And if they've already eaten, it's okay to take a scalpel to their stomach to retrieve it.

Hypocrisy isn't excusable.
