author’s vision of freedom and self-determination.
“Let’s suppose they were all beautifully innocent savages, which they certainly were not. … What was it that they were fighting for, if they opposed white men on this continent? For their wish to continue a primitive existence, their right to keep part of the earth untouched, unused, and not even as property, but just keep everybody out so that you will live practically like an animal?”
~ Ayn Rand
I asked someone about Objectivism a while back. My question was that if theft was theft, didn’t that mean the USA should hand over the land to the Natives?
That’s basically the answer I was given. The owners weren’t using it correctly, so it was fair game.
Makes sense, after all if you only play madden on your PS5 I’m obligated to steal it to play Astrobots.
