i mean I’m not arguing that you should/shouldn’t care, in my opinion those atrocities are so far in the past there’s nothing that can be done to correct them. I’m just trying to understand where this whole conquered/stolen argument comes from because from my pov it seems like the kind of thing white nativists use to justify some sort of preemptive ownership over who gets to “be an American” today, which is a far more relevant discussion today than whether or not colonialism was justified
