      You personally or the country that you are a citizen of? Because I never said that each member of the society committed crimes against humanity. But if you’re going to use the land that your forbears made available to you through genocide, you might find that your protestations that you shouldn’t be punished just because you’ve built your whole life around the spoils of other people’s war crimes don’t hold a lot of weight.

        Subjugate yourselves to a first nations tribunal for your crimes against humanity.

        Whomever or whatever this is referring to.

          Yeah, the State of Canada, as a body politic, must undergo a full transference of sovereignty to the original inhabitants of the land who were subjected to genocidal violence, cultural erasure, displacement, and other crimes against humanity on behalf of the project for Canada which every inhabitant of Canada necessarily benefits from by virtue of their occupation of the land, the consumption of its resources, and the displacement of their externalities.

              I know that settlers think justice will never reach them, but settler states are only a few centuries old and the civilizations they transgressed are several thousands of years old. It’ll happen.
