Something is rotten in Canada.

If a guy broke into someone’s house and beat them up and killed half their family, then lived in the house, would it be making it better or worse if the guy let some (sympathetic, deserving, of course!) other people move in too?

Countries aren't houses, so I'm not sure what process this is supposed to be an allegory for.

Me, I rent, so I've always been quite aware that I don't own the land I reside on, although a lot of other people don't seem to know it.

If you're asking me if I should be expelled from the city I live in (Since I am the sympathetic person who was let in in this allegory) then, uh, no I would prefer not, thank you.

It’s whether being pro immigration makes a lick of sense to combine with land acknowledgments.

If you’re an invader, a thief, an Oppressor, well of course you don’t want to lose your ill-gotten resources, but why would anyone gaf about the opinions of the villains? Like, come on, we all know that the randos Murderpants invited in get evicted when the law catches up with events in this scenario, maybe they dodge the criminal charges Murderpants is getting, but they’re still getting evicted.

you sound like you're looking for a fight

Not specifically, no.

I am trying to bait someone into providing an explanation for how “The United States is an illegitimate country built on stolen land! Landback!” And “The United States has a moral obligation to accept mass immigration” go together logically, vs inherently are in conflict with each other.

@str-ngeloop He's specifically looking for the nutjobs who can no longer comprehend ideas like "what the US did to the Native Americans is bad but you can't undo the past" and "all US citizens have a right to live here and so does anyone else who enters legally", because they're so far up their own asses that they'll simultaneously argue that white Americans whose families emigrated decades if not centuries ago have no right to live here but non-whites("minorities" to them, since they're so Americocentric that everyone who isn't white" being the global majority doesn't occur to them) who just got here have a sacrosanct right to be here even if they entered illegally and were already wanted for other crimes on top of that.

Might be what I am most likely to find, but I do still dream of finding some brilliant mind who actually makes me believe the stuff that I am required to act l believe.

generallemarc

If you're talking about the "land back but also more immigration" thing, your best bet would be either a hypnotist or a drug dealer with some really good hallucinogenics. Otherwise there's not really any way to make yourself believe nonsense save just going crazy.

It makes sense if your only metric is white people = bad, and non-white people = not bad, so anything that decreases the percentage of white people in any area is always good.

I love it when a classicist has clearly gotten so lost in the BCE sauce that their perception of time has become deeply warped. Case in point: the article I’m currently reading just described the Byzantine era as “a period relatively modern.”
