You discount emigration to a more ethically supportable culture then?
Yes, I do, for two reasons...
If my parent's immigration as children, fleeing from Soviets who wanted to put my grandfathers into gulags, is not considered ethical... then I take it that there is no such thing as ethical emigration. I am taking space, and moving my own self and culture, into the space of some current inhabitants who did not ask me to be there.
And, in fact, while you bring up the issues of North American, the fact of the matter is that this has happened to every single culture on Earth. At this point, there is no place where some original inhabitants were not imposed upon by groups of immigrants. Everywhere in Africa, Europe, and Asia, Modern Humans displaced previous hominids, and
drove them to extinction, and then various groups of modern humans have been stomping on each other ever since. In North America, Australia, and Pacific Islands, Europeans displaced indigenous peoples. There was always someone there before you who was treated very poorly. All land in the world has been stolen from someone before.
My point is there should be and always has been points where the chain is disregarded.
Yep. Or, if not disregarded, at least accepted that the sins of the parents don't fully fall on the children, whether that's in a true familial sense, or in a handing down of corporate assets sense.
