My point is you attribute the entirety of success to to theft, and I think there is a lot more to it. At a minimum, there is the ability to defend and retain what was taken. There is also the ability to utilize the resources one possesses.

The answer to the question "why Americans are so rich" is obviously much much bigger (and more interesting) than that they stole resources from indigenous people.

>That was not the intention, sorry if you felt offended.

What was the intention? I thought you were just being a dismissive asshole, ignoring the rest of a post. Was it a joke that fell flat? were you planning to come back and engage with the other six sentences later?

"My point is you attribute the entirety of success to to theft"

I didn't write that [0]

"I thought you were just being a dismissive asshole"

Using "asshole" says more about yourself than about me [1]

"were you planning to come back and engage with the other six sentences later?"

No, because I couldnt' follow them, I didn't understand the logic, it didn't feel like it followed logic conventions [2]
