America was conquered, not stolen.

Ditto Australia, but try telling the general populace that
It was also settled like Europe. We just don't want it castrated like Europe.
It's true.

What’s the difference?
Two, ultimately incompatible, forms of civilization came to bloody competition for their way of life.
We won. They lost.
Can we do this now?
The larger the power, the more unconventional/deniable the measures used to topple must be.
Consequence of nuclear proliferation. Instead of bombs, you get scamdemics and DEW wildfires.
What about at a small scale? Can someone go and conquer someone else’s land?
Example, can I come to your property and claim it, fight for it, whoever wins keeps it?
Of course not.
Minor point, but I would argue that, in this case, the conquerors brought/established civilization. It might be acurate to classify the Native tribes as societies but I'm not sure about a civilization.

💯 All lands are conquered lands. Assimilate or take it back, those are the options.
A small contingent of natives were conquered hundreds of years after being decimated by disease. We were doing them a favor by bringing them out of the stone age. They call it "stealing land". The blacks also complain about being brought over here as slaves and then being freed. They certainly didn't want to go back to Africa. It's all guilt extortion and if it works, we are stupid and deserve to be conquered by our "oppressed" populations
💯. All lands are conquered lands.
