Generally speaking, how do objectivists justify/rationalize the genocide of the natives?

Is it a "means to an end" sort of thing? The Europeans were superior, so they have the right to conquer a lesser civilization in order to establish one more preferable?

I'm not saying this is "native land", but there was genocide and theft. It's just curious to me how objectivists tend to not even acknowledge wrongdoing.

Whereas I acknowledge it, and then go about reality in a practical way.

@Wejer3 I'm a classical liberal or neoliberal -- the exact opposite of a leftist liberal.

@eight18 Philosophy rules the world! It rules you too --- you just don't know it. Multinationals are tools of philosophy too, and all their raping is a product of their intellectual beliefs, and those of the philosophically-mistaken gov't which heavily guides them.

@eight18 Philosophy rules the world. People are just puppets dancing to the strings of the intellectuals.

@eight18 ARI believes things fanatically, as do you. I only believe things reasonably.

And Objectivism isn't killing anybody -- it's a currently virtually unknown philosophy.

[eight18]

@PureLiberalRadio the fact that you believe your own philosphy so fanatically , without ever questioning it ,shows how deluded your mind is i wouldnt even care what you guys think and believe in but your stupid ideas and philosophy is getting a lot of poor people killed so you fukers better wake up now or we'll violently do it for you

@eight18 There's nothing zombie-like, delusional, or pathetic about a fundamental philosophy of reason and logic, an ethics of individualism and self-interest, and a politics of liberty and justice. As a a matter of fact...that's the future of the world!
