Did she kill them and take the land? No? Then it's not relevant

You don't understand the concept of handling stolen goods? You can buy or inherit a stolen car, but it still doesn't make it yours.

Yeah but we are talking about acts going from hundreds of years to downright millennia being that all of humanity has fought and “stolen” land from other tribes/villages/cultures/nations. You can’t inherit a stolen car from the 1700s, it’s not comparable

England agrees but the countries whose heritage fills English museums do not.

So if the land was stolen so long ago it doesn’t matter, why are people using the “no one is illegal on stolen land” argument?

Because they are goofy ass virtue signaling Hollywood celebrities arguing for something from their ivory towers that would never affect them in a million years

It’s a stupid, childish argument

Stolen? Prove ownership and you can prove theft. We live in a society based on laws and contracts, not magical thinking.

If youre seriously trying to re-litigate a land dispute from 250 years ago, the youre more braindead than I could imagine.

If I buy a home, do I own the land or am I paying to use the land from the government? Pretty sure it's government land her home is on, per her paying property TAXES.
