Woke activists suggest that all “colonized” land should be returned to the previous owners. But is it really that simple? Michael Knowles shares his thoughts.

Would you rather be colonized by Aztecs or Christians?
Neither. I want my freedom to be left in peace, neither being eaten alive by cannibals, or burned at the stake for being a heretic or infidel by Christians which is what a Christian theocracy would do to any heretic, blasphemer, or infidel. No different than Islam.
Good to know you are insane. You certainly talk about your imaginary Christian Theocracy enough….it’s almost like you want it to happen.
Got news for you…..you aren’t going to get it. Sorry to disappoint you. But you would rather live in the past building a slave world of your own creation. You may get your theocracy but it will be of the Islamic kind, courtesy of the Left/Islamic alliance. And then what you will you do? Fight for your freedom or our freedom. Personally I will fight for our freedom. We don’t need your help.
If I may quote you from several years ago:
“I don’t recognize any such absurdity as service to my country. I recognize a moral responsibility to my freedom and liberty and the freedom and liberty of those I love.”
You will just crawl deeper into your hole an hope the islamists don’t find you, because you are a wimp girly-man coward. But they will find you.
Good luck with that. The world won’t leave you in peace, you weakling.
Couldn’t have said it better.
He somehow thinks he can live in a world of his own creation. He thinks his faux intellectualism is his shield.
No Christian has burned anyone at
the stake for a LONG time. The Moslems are still killing infidels.
Actually, it was the Roman Catholic Church who burned people at the stake, which was & is a blending of religious & political power and NOT a Christian organization. Remember, it was a religious/political group that crucified Jesus; true Christians do not resemble that group at all, even if they believe they should be involved in politics so they can influence who governs them.
No, the Catholic Church did not. The state did. Not saying the Church wasn’t complicit, but please get your facts straight before pontificating.
Plenty of women accused of witchcrafy were burnef in PROTESTANT countries.
You failed to address the question.
The colony of Pennsylvania was founded by a Quaker, who held the King’s land grant. People of other faiths- including Jews- were welcomed during the colonial era.

Logic and common sense.
The video misses a key point, and that is, if Africans or Asians or any other tribal group had been sufficiently developed and could build ships and navigate the world, they too would have been the colonists.
The more truly tribal a people are, the more primitive they become, and the fewer innovations and superior technology they produce.
The Vikings, Celts, Angles, and the Saxons, didn’t produce much in innovation precisely because they were so tribal. The Greeks and Romans did because they were in the process of becoming less tribal.
Political freedom means the freedom of the individual. The freedom of the individual to be left in peace by other individuals in his society. Free to think, act, produce, and keep the product of his effort.
Freedom is not a luxury but a crucial necessity of man. Necessary for his survival and flourishing.
“What are the nature and the causes of modern tribalism? Philosophically, tribalism is the product of irrationalism and collectivism. It is a logical consequence of modern philosophy. If men accept the notion that reason is not valid, what is to guide them and how are they to live?
Obviously, they will seek to join some group—any group—which claims the ability to lead them and to provide some sort of knowledge acquired by some sort of unspecified means. If men accept the notion that the individual is helpless, intellectually and morally, that he has no mind and no rights, that he is nothing, but the group is all, and his only moral significance lies in selfless service to the group—they will be pulled obediently to join a group. But which group? Well, if you believe that you have no mind and no moral value, you cannot have the confidence to make choices—so the only thing for you to do is to join an unchosen group, the group into which you were born, the group to which you were predestined to belong by the sovereign, omnipotent, omniscient power of your body chemistry.
This, of course, is racism. But if your group is small enough, it will not be called “racism”: it will be called “ethnicity.” …
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.” – Ayn Rand
Vikings, Celts, Angles, and the Saxons produced nothing? Really? Yes, you are that ignorant. The Greeks and the Romans are gone but you still live in the past.
Except for their early exploring and raiding, they established trading routes, cities, building Normandy in Francia, establishing a vital presence in middle England near York and eventually stitching all of England together, and building pretty much all of medieval and renaissance Europe, they really didn’t do all that much did they. You are a true self-involved idiot. What have you created?
Political freedom may mean the freedom of the individual to you, but will you fight for it or just talk abstractly about it? You couldn’t find your own freedom with two hands and a flashlight. And you don’t have the guts for anything else.
Have fun with your fantasies.
Tribalism is a human instinct, nothing anyone says will change that, even those who are too terrified to leave their homes are connected with their tribe online.
Exactly. People have a natural affinity for those who are like themselves. This instinct is a good one.
Yeah, but they couldn’t and didn’t. Whitey did that.
Aztec religion was derived from Shamanism and heavy use of psychedelics. Western Civ got its edge from Ancient Greek Philosophy of Science. And fine engineering.
We should also not forget that the ancestors of those tribes complaining about colonization, crossed the land bridge from Europe and colonized North America. They they then spent millennia attacking, killing and enslaving each other and seizing each other’s land. It’s only the white man who is bad though.
When people who are as white as Wonder Bread tell me that I’m a “settler colonialist”, I am at a loss as to what I am supposed to do next. My family has been in America since the 1630’s. Most of my heritage is English, but go back to the 11th century and my family invaded with the Norman Conquest. That means they were originally from France, but they were actually Scandinavians who had colonized Normandy. So, I am a settler-settler-settler-settler colonialist. Who will foot the bill to resettle me in Norway.
Since the beginning of time, man not only tried to conquered other man. And failed every time. As Darwin put it is the survival of the fittest.
