Allow me to complicate the trial. What if the robbed is no longer alive?

I feel you, and also acknowledge it is a hairy subject on a grand scale.

I also try to frame the issue in the actual, real moment. I try my damndest to do as little harm as humanly possible to anyone. Should I be forced to give money to someone affected? Land? Should I be punished?

Who benefits? A grandson of someone displaced? A great great grandson? Whole family trees? How do you make shit like this right after so much time?

Mostly, I’m trying to encourage thought and discussion. Fundamentally, I think people should be judged on their own merits and actions, not their lineage.

Define “make it right”. And for who, exactly?

But you and I did NOT. I see a lot of people online who can’t make the distinction.

EDIT: Thanks for replies, all. Some good conversation here

Unless we’re talking protesting or voting. Then they’re asleep.
