Can’t really rank it, it’s a subjective statement. My gut tells me there’s a difference between for instance a Native American stating his land is stolen and a, just an example, white European stating his land is stolen.
My gut thinks there IS a way to rank these statements, even though it’s technically true all land was stolen at some point and the whole nation state fairy tale is completely arbitrary.
That’s just my gut though, it doesn’t agree with genocide
True, but still some land is significantly more stolen than others.

That’s not heather.
And I don’t get the meme. Is the joke that these plants don’t indicate anything except that there is soil?
Some of these plants indicate nothing (dandelion and clover), not even that there is soil to begin with.
But the heather and lavender indicate (very) nutrient poor soil. The soil heather grows on is very acidic and for lavender it is basic, calcium rich soil.
The stinging nettle soil is very rich in nitrogen.
So there are some easy indicators?
No thanks I’m on a low fat diet
No offense but when was the US ever a good idea?
I mean, the land was already occupied… And now suddenly you talk about monsters? They have always been there.
Not that it is true that they are just tiny boxes… But even if it were true. That’s the difference between China and the US isn’t it?
One provides at least a “box” for everyone.
One provides a big home with a yard with a white picket fence around it for some, but leaves others living in the streets.
Do you really prefer the last one? So many people in the US would be happy with a box at this point.
Cambrian cuisine would have to exclude the garlic, tomatoes and zucchini though. No land plants yet. And no mammals so no cream.
But otherwise, totally agree! If it lived in these times I would be up for these dishes.
Had to look up hallucigenia but they sure do look like they’ll provide an interesting texture to a dish.

According to the logic of Chinese medicine, yes.
It doesn’t help the longevity of the molerats though.
What? This is getting confusing.
Yes probably all cultures had slaves or stole land at some point in time. (This is true, depending on whether you see cultures as fixed in time: are current day Egyptians of the same culture as ancient Egyptians? When does culture “restart”? Who decides this?)
Let me ask you: is there no difference between let’s say a Native American claiming his land was stolen (hundreds of years ago and his people massacred, and he’s now a second rank citizen on his own land), and for instance a white European claiming his land was stolen (by the Romans? During WW2? I would not know what he means honestly, especially because he is now part of a nation state, a first class citizen).
Yes all land was stolen. But this is not an absolute. You wouldn’t agree the Native American had his land quite a bit more relatively stolen?
My point is you can’t invalidate the claim of native peoples just by going “meh, so what? All land was technically stolen at some point”. Some people can make a more legitimate claim their land was stolen than others.
