    Morality of using resources that someone else stole is ‘muddy’ to say the least but the majority of modern society would not function if we didn’t look the other way.

    For example, I hope you’re not living anywhere in NA or most of Africa or many areas in Europe or some areas in Asia. Because if you are, you’re probably standing on stolen resources.

      That’s a straw man argument at best. You act as if I can control where I live (though I’ve work for multiple reperation charities to help with this exact issue because I know I live on stolen land and I want to give it back).

      Knowingly using stolen property to “create” something is not the same as living on stolen land that was stolen two plus centuries ago.

      And honestly I find it a little pathetic that that’s the comparison you tried to go for.

        AS I said to the other dude, I’m not going to keep coming up with examples because you’ll just keep moving the goal posts. There are tons of examples of something of value, natural or man made, being stolen and later treated as a common good.

        Just do some research.

        This is just one example. I’m not going to keeping punting just for you to move the goal posts.
