This is just weird revisionist history. They moved in stole shit, colonized and murdered. The after the fact excuse of "we took it to preserve it" doesn't play mostly because their colonizer bullshit is largely the reason areas they stole shit from are destabilized.

I'm not revising anything its a shitty thing to do and it should all be returned. It was just a thought with a beer given how volatile some of the areas where the stuff comes and yes I know most of them ended up volatile because of colonialism.
