Unfortunately we’re living in a world that no longer has much unowned/unsettled land. Everything has been bought and hoarded by the ultra wealthy.

that was already true in 1492.

the land wasn’t "unsettled" before the colonizers arrived.

Well yes, but obviously there was some point in history where that wasn’t true. You just need to look back further than modern history.

Where it was "owned" by native peoples. Even though they didn't think of it the way we think of that term, it was their land.

They're referring to the America's before it was colonized by the settlers from Asia.

Ah, right. Well those assholes killed all the giant sloths and American lions so I'm not letting them off the hook.
