Well there are short term benefits in enabling families to employ
themselves in subsistance farming.


Terrible news!
(to the racist whites in these NGs)


I note that reverting to subsistance farming is always people on newsgroups
advocate for others. You never see them give up their comfortable existance
to do it themselves.


This is a rather dishonest comment, to say the least. Clearly Mr.
Glur wants us to believe that the short-term effects of violent,
uncompensated transfers of land from competent farmers to incompetent
thugs are somehow merely the long-term effects of orderly and
compensated transfers from larger to smaller competent farmers.

Yes. Dishonesty exists all around.
The white incompetent thugs who - violently and with no
compensation offered - grabbed the ancestral lands in africa
did not have a background in farming. The native
pastoralists who are reclaiming their ancestral lands will
re-discover their pastoral roots that were violently
uprooted by, among other knaves, a rat named cecil_rhodes.
And they are doing admirably well.

Should humanity COMPENSATE crime or the criminals who
grabbed the ancestral lands with NO COMPENSATION? Men of
goodwill would suggest that the natives deserve rents,
restitution and revenge.

Thugs are not to be rewarded for their dastardly deeds.

The land-grabbing white cutthroats also had a track record
in murder, rape, poisoning and trading in human misery.
Can/Does humanity overlook the crimes of murder and fraud?
Do we observe any time limits on these? Men of goodwill
would suggest that the natives deserve just revenge, just
retribution. Surely we asserted these rights in Afghanistan
after the events of September 11, 2001!

How about the particular crime of slave trade? The Jews are
heavily compensated for same! Why shouldn't the african?


why not the Russians, who were shipped in large numbers into Egypt?
