    Thank you for sharing your perspective on what sovereignty means, it’s more than the other person I was trying to discuss this with did.

    All Im really seeing from that article is that sovereignty according to some activists means

    -spirituality -connection to land

    Which matches closely to the original Western interpretation of

    -derived from god -occupation of land

    I really don’t see much difference, and I don’t see much worth in either. Realised sovereignty, the effective ability to enforce it, is the only thing that matters at the end of the day.

    These activists are making out like in 60,000 years they never went to war, never stole land, and never enforced their claim over another group of people.

    Of course they did. Then it happened to the lot of them. That sucks for them but that’s how it goes.

    That’s why everyone spends so much on Defence.
