As we all know, a controversial issue isn’t really settled until David Hogg weighs in. So thank goodness Hogg took to Twitter last night to deliver the only response to Donald Trump’s address that matters:
Reminder: No one is illegal on stolen land #TrumpAddress

We don’t deserve his genius. No, really. We don’t deserve it. We haven’t done anything to deserve it.
Unless the natives were picked up while they were sleeping and sneakily moved somewhere else, then it wasn’t stolen. It was either bought, traded for or conquered. Things the natives did as well

All land is “stolen,” or, more accurately, conquered or colonized.
— M Dub (@rmatthewware) January 9, 2019
All land was conquered at some point in time. That’s how the game was played.

David Hogg doesn’t play games. He’s super-serial, you guys.

That’s an insult to 8th graders. But we get the point.

"Britain can't have immigration laws because the Normans took the land away from the Anglo-Saxon nobles." https://t.co/JkMUtretry

The Anglo-Saxons had no right to resist the Normans because they took the land away from the Brittonic Celts.

Now, you see the violence inherent in the system.

Oh well. At least pretty soon, he’ll be Harvard’s problem.
Harvard…..here he comes!!

But at what cost?
You’re going to take a spot at Harvard that could provide an opportunity to a historically oppressed person.

Oh, snap! Harvard and Hogg had better nip this dilemma in the bud before it becomes any more problematic:
There's no reason for that kid to go to Harvard. He already knows everything they're going to teach him, so just give him the diploma now and save four years.

Perfect. Or … maybe not:
Harvard is built on stolen land. https://t.co/NEcQm0f4cx
