>Huge money imbalances are always based upon exploitation.
>>Abracadabra, and there! It's now fact!
No, it's a well studied topic of political science and political economy. And it's evident throughout history. You might not agree with it, and it's fine (americans in general have an aversion to social sciences and politics), but "hocus pocus and abracadabra" are childish BS.
>What Native American lands are you talking about exactly? While it's true that European settlers did usurp some land that was in use by the natives, I hope you don't believe that the natives had claim over the entire continent.
I very much do. And even if that's not the case, the European immigrants surely can not claim any part of the continent. Not even the ones they "bought" (with their slimy tactics and weapons as assistance).
Sure, if you happen to have been brainwashed under Soviet Russia.
> "hocus pocus and abracadabra" are childish BS.
In your hands, sure. In mine, it has been working amazingly well in calling out childish BS.
> americans in general have an aversion to social sciences and politics
Hocus pocus! In any case, I'm not American. Try hocus-pocusing that.
>> I hope you don't believe that the natives had claim over the entire continent.
> I very much do.
I'd ask why you think that. But now I'm bored.
> the European immigrants surely can not claim any part of the continent.
If I weren't so bored, I'd ask you what you think it means to make a claim on something, and who else recognizes the claim, and who enforces the claim. I'd ask you about people who recognize or enforce claims of others, as to what basis they could have for recognizing or not recognizing claims. I'd ask you what you think of three Yemenis claiming that Mars was their ancestral property, and NASA has no business landing there [1]. I'd also ask about NASA's Brian Welch who claims "Mars is ... the property of all humanity". I'd also claim his own house to be the property of all humanity, since that too is "out in the solar system".
But I got bored. So I'm not asking anything any more.
