You forgot the part where the komodo dragon's "promised land" was full of Phoenician Canaanites they had to genocide first.
The same Canaanites from Noah's son because after everyone was killed by a flood, God deemed Canaan's blood the good people worth saving?
He sure seemed to fuck it up and have to wipe out humans quite a few times. But that's what you get for putting a tree in Eden for no other reason but to introduce sin to the innocent and trick humans into thinking Lucifer was the evil one.
And now he loves America. Just don't tell the Italians.
Starting to see a pattern of bad outcomes for whoever makes a deal with this guy at the time...
You mean "was full of tasty snacks".
Imagine Mongolia just started invading China and be like "MY ANCESTORS USED TO LIVE HERE"
Imagine the Australians descending on London like "Oh yea nah me bluddy rellys is fully from here aye!"
I would support that. After that Australia can join the EU, and they're already in Eurovision.
And maybe do something about the TERF infestation.
Yes please. I'll donate to that gofundme.
This is Turkish nationalists with Turanist dreams
Does this also apply to Native Americans or...?
Native Americans have a different claim. They are not claiming their ancestors give them the right to use the land. They have agreements with the US government. The US then promptly turned around and ignored their promises. The native Americans have the receipts.
Agreements about historical land ownership only apply to white people!
Blood and soil nationalism is ok when it's promoted by non-white people.
China is the same way.
never seen such a bunch of 9-dash fantasies. the logic they use to posit these idiotic claims is breathtaking.
Well that's where t-rex lived
The irony would be even greater if they were kicking out birds who they accused of displacing the ancient Dinosaurs.
There's a guy in southwest England whose family didn't leave the village for 9000 years.
Even better is that the guy is 42 with no kids. I get that we all technically have ancestry that goes back to the first life on the planet, but this guy suddenly happens to have verified family lineage that goes back farther than any other human on the entire planet... And he's the last one.
I pray that he consciously chose not to have kids... I know how soul destroying it can be to want to have kids but not be able to. But this guy... He suddenly, because someone needed a warm body to fill out their numbers to a nice round number, is directly confronted by a family lineage 9000 years old. And he's the last. What an absolute mind fuck.
Inbreeding mastery level: British
"Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his inbreeding levels?"
"IT'S OVER 9000 YEARS!"
H-how did they get spouses? Nevermind, I probably don't want to know.
Spouses can move to the village, it's just that the children never leave.
At least one parent was born in the village.
Birds: Um, akshully, we're more closely related than you are!
Chickens 100% are just mini T-rexes.
Cassowaries make a lot more sense when seeing T-Rex like that.
The problem is that this argument can really be made both ways. If someone said Israel shouldn't exist because Palestinians used to live there before that, that's just essentially the same argument.
Israel shouldn't exist because it's a colonial apartheid state perpetrating a genocide. That doesn't mean every non-palestinian has to leave either.
But saying that Israel shouldn't exist doesn't mean that the Israelis have to leave
Neither argument hold any merit and is an example of the tyranny of history. Who cares what a bunch of dead assholes thought was theirs? The people who live there (not the politicians who pretend to represent their interests) are the only people that have any legitimate claim to authority on what should be done about the region.
It is especially meritless to equate people who claim the land based on other people sharing their religion having lived there a thousand years ago, with people whose grandparents got kicked out of their houses and who've had to live in an open air prison ever since while being subjected to regular attempts at ethnic cleansing.
Yep, maybe they could have a big fight, winner takes all.
Hungarian ultra-nationalists: "Since your kind was under my ancestor's rule, you have to rejoin my country and learn my language, or else you're a [incoherent antisemitic screaming]!"
In my world understanding colonialism was never good, but anything after ww2 is just invalid. There needs to be some cut off date where we say "at this point everyone knew and we had international laws against genocide" after which it just becomes invalid and any land claimed afterwards is not recognized or supported.
Israel was definitely too late to the colonial party and kinda should be considered illegitimate.
A little convenient that the cutoff date is after Europeans divided the world for themselves.
right? all colonial states are illegitimate
Ofcourse they are, but if you go back to times where colonialism was the norm and in no way internationally frowned upon, then not a single current day country would be legitimate. So it kinda makes sense to set the cut off at a point where colonialism was at an all time low, because if you dont then all you get is world war.
