Id agree except that I think you can and should try to rectify historic wrongs where the descendants of the victims are still materially suffering.
Depends what you mean. If you're talking about reparations I don't agree. In this world, there are a lot of people materially suffering and we shouldn't be picking and choosing who gets free gift cards and who doesn't based on race. Unfortunate things happened in the past that set the current stage. There's a lot of suffering out there and everyone seems to think they have an inalienable right to reproduce despite the consequences. So reparations to me is scooping water out with a coffee cup from a sinking ship. It's also the quickest way to lose elections. Nobody will go for it when we've all seen our material conditions worsen over our lifetimes, even in the debt-ridden "rich nations".
That we as humans are living beyond our means in terms of population and resources. Particularly if everybody wants to live above the poverty line. I really didn't think this was news to anybody at this point.
