            Then it’s fine to fasten a noose around the natives’ neck and very gradually tighten it?

            What else could you be indicating by posting about this in this context? It’s true that natives were nomadic people moving through the land, but how does that make it right for europeans to come in and claim land in a permanent fashion from across the globe?
