The colonial/imperial justification is usually that the 'natives'/'savages' were not exploiting the land to the fullest extent (usually based on agriculture); often calling it 'waste land'.
Therefore, by not exploiting it (enough, or the 'right' way), it 'naturally' belongs to someone (else) who can/will exploit it.
Not getting a response is like due to them not even knowing that much history. That, or you just broke their cognitive dissonance, at least until they changed the subject.
God. Imagine appreciating the nature for what it is. Pathetic. Sickening really. Just looking at it and not wanting to replace it all with parking lots and department stores. Instead theyβre just eating incredibly sustainable diets and culturing the land to be prosperous. Morons.
