Morality of using resources that someone else stole is ‘muddy’ to say the least but the majority of modern society would not function if we didn’t look the other way.
For example, I hope you’re not living anywhere in NA or most of Africa or many areas in Europe or some areas in Asia. Because if you are, you’re probably standing on stolen resources.
That’s a straw man argument at best. You act as if I can control where I live (though I’ve work for multiple reperation charities to help with this exact issue because I know I live on stolen land and I want to give it back).
Knowingly using stolen property to “create” something is not the same as living on stolen land that was stolen two plus centuries ago.
And honestly I find it a little pathetic that that’s the comparison you tried to go for.

Can’t shame someone for being born in a certain place.
This is just one example. I’m not going to keeping punting just for you to move the goal posts.
It’s a mix of conquered, purchased and stolen land
Conquered is a funny way of stolen.
Coerced purchasing, or purchasing from someone else who stole, or purchasing under intentionally false understanding, is still stealing.
killing the previous owner has been a long established way of getting land for thousands of years
Yes that’s one of the mechanisms to steal the land
theft requires a victim, the dead do a bad job of filling that role
You’re disgusting
So I assume you agree that if someone murdered you, you would prefer they go free and live a happy life.
After all what would they be punished for. There is no victim.
if there’s no punishment for murder in war why should there be punishment for killings in peace
How did you make it through the Ukraine bombings you weirdo Russian bot
A lot of blatant and obvious reasons that really shouldn’t require an explanation.
