    US gives back the land to the native americans and stop calling themselves Americans

    That sounds like teenage fantasy nonsense.

    Cool, US bad - but how? Like give a step by step plan.

    Let’s suppose that I am a Mexican migrant and after decades of hard work I purchased a block of land in Chicago. You get your dream scenario. What happens to my block?

    Now that the land belongs to someone else the few hundred million people in the US that are not native Americans where do they go?

    Do I go back to Mexico? What if I’m from Spanish descent? Do I go back to Spain?

    Does everyone go back to their ancestral lands? What happens if they don’t exist anymore? Or if the current populations don’t want them?

    How far back in history do you go to give back land?

    Do the descendants of say the Ottomans give back the whole of Turkey to the previous populations?

    Where does Istanbul go? To the Greeks? Or to the Italians? Should the Greeks also try to find Trojan descendants to give back Troy?

    Should everyone that doesn’t descend from Gaul get the fuck out of France?

    Sounds a lot like blood purism with extra steps.

    Give us your wisdom.
