Your argument is a rhetorical diversion away from my comment regarding the crime's of the British empire.

When someone commits a murder do you say. Well what about all the other murderers?

What hypothetical American indigenous tribes may or may not have done is not the subject of this thread.

I don’t see an argument, just a question. Is land theft a neologism for conquest or does it mean something else? If so, what is the difference?

Please you tell me, do you think conquest is different to land theft?

To me they are the same thing

Well, it’s trying to find a set of standards that are equally applied to everyone no?

If I kill someone and call it “self-defense” and someone else kills someone under the same circumstances and I call it “murder” that doesn’t make sense does it?

But this thread is not about other people, I haven't said that it was ok if Spanish or some indigenous people's were carrying out violence or just the British carried out violence.

I have made a statement that the British Empire is absolutely / objectively bad - what's the comparison aiming to do?
