Yes, unironically. As much as I recognize it's not realistic/possible, I do not recognize the settlers-- or the sons and daughters of settlers, for that matter-- to have any justifiable claim to either a state or governance over such, ESPECIALLY not with the kinds of things Amerikans did, have done, and will do to maintain said governance. Given my druthers, I'd ship 'em all back to wherever in the European Union they're most likely to claim and let them sort it all out.
Eh… I mean yes, I get where you’re coming from but personally I just don’t agree with forced movement. My family is OG settler colonialists, been here since the 1600s, and I agree that serious reparations should be paid to native peoples (including minimum representation in government and complete land back) I seriously wouldn’t want to be forced to move to Europe.
If we offered clemency to every son and daughter of settlers that still exists on this landmass, we'd literally never achieve the aims of decolonization because there will always be some settler's larvae wriggling into and wrecking the process. Somebody's gonna have to bite a bullet here, and it ain't gonna be us.
