Serious question. What does ‘always was, always will be’ actually mean in real terms? Like, what are the sincere beliefs and practical implications beyond lip service for people who say that? If you’re living in a house or sitting in a park on land that doesn’t belong to you, surely you’d give it back to its rightful owner of you believe it’s theirs, right? I don’t understand the very vocal assertion that it’s their land but only if I don’t have to give up anything of mine. Seems like it’s just a thing to say for brownie points.
