i dont think people should get anything because of what their anchestors needed to expirience. the people that want something werent there and didnt expirience anything. generational trauma is not real. (afaik!!!!)

because how far back in time should we go back? to ww2 or further back? many people enslaved eachother also in europa.

in ww2 my peoples land and its people was conwuered by another and is still under occupation but i dont expect to get anything in form of reperation. now my land is the wealthiest state in the whole nation. lmao

generational trauma is very much real. it manifests in how parents raise their children, how communities interact, in jokes and stories about others, in the way you see people, and even in genetics.

for example, the reason pacific islanders are usually pretty heavyset is that their ancestors were starved for generations by slavers, and developed more efficient metabolisms that used less. that's trauma from hundreds of years ago that physically manifests today.
