**Humanity, however, acting on public opinion, has established, as a general rule, that the conquered shall not be wantonly oppressed, and that their condition shall remain as eligible as is compatible with the objects of the conquest.**
Frequent and bloody wars, in which the whites were not always the aggressors, unavoidably ensued. European policy, numbers, and skill prevailed. As the white population advanced, that of the Indians necessarily receded.
However extravagant the pretension of converting the discovery of an inhabited country into conquest may appear; if the principle has been asserted in the first instance, and afterwards sustained; if a country has been acquired and held under it; if the property of the great mass of the community originates in it, it becomes the law of the land and cannot be questioned.
alright i'll stop
just some great stuff in there
If you give the TLDR I would be interested
I like lawyers face to face as they are wonderfully blunt and concise but their written documents are the opposite
I would generally agree except that I think this opinion should just be read as legal/political philosophy
the TLDR is twofold
1: Indians don't have the title to their land, they have a "right of occupancy" so indians can't sell their land to private citizens, because they don't have title in the first place. The US does. So Indians can only cede their right of occupancy to the US.
2: Some really thoughtful discussion about the "right of discovery" that forms the basis of the US government's right to sovereignty over conquered land
Aztec spergs don't own anything
that's a TLDR to the TLDR
What percentage of lawyers are suicidal
Cursed image
a lot
I think only dentists are more suicidal
I want to become a scientist less each day
I want to be a lawyer less each day

I'm pretty doomed, but I am developing a few decent exit strategies

@J · physics and chemistry
Physics is awful
Chemistry is ok

what kind of scientist will you be
I can't stand the community
Idk
I was planning on going into academia
But I really dislike the university setting
Mostly because of the people
Probably a physical chemist if anything
