This is why we colonise space, at least the planets without aliens living there.

Almost every colony ever: gets oppressed and exploited, fights for independence, gains sovereignty, becomes either a tense ally or a hostile rival to their former empire

Earthlings: “maybe we should colonize space”

Seriously? Most of the world today are colonies of the rich parts. We just don’t say it that way.

So you want to send those undesireable people somewhere else? Maybe to conserve your way of living?

Also the whole industrialization, privatization, and rise of capitalism thing in Europe that led to successive waves of emigrants leaving or being coerced from their homelands. I think in general people don’t leave their communities and families without some kind of direct or indirect violence.

Also homesteads weren’t exactly a great place to be. No infrastructure and tornado heaven. People lived there because it was their only choice.

I mean if it would’ve been empty land it could’ve worked likes this. I don’t think genocide is a necessary part of it
