So all you need to do to get away with theft is wait and move it around a bunch after the initial theft? And the rightful owner loses their right to it?
Like I feel like your perspective sounds nice and empathetic for about three seconds, then you realize you're advocating another ethnic cleansing in response to ethnic cleansing. Or not, I guess it's possible to think ethnic cleansing is good.
Returning land to the people it was stolen from isn't ethnic cleansing, and it's a typical settler response to accuse their victims of hypothetically doing something the colonizers are already guilty of.
So what you're saying is that it's okay to take back the food stolen by a homeless man desperate to feed his kids, right? And if they've already eaten, it's okay to take a scalpel to their stomach to retrieve it.
Hypocrisy isn't excusable.
Land stolen from indigenous people isn't done in desperation for starvatian, it's theft.
