    “settler”? Why do they call them that? It seems peaceful. Nazis were just “settling” too were they?
    Please help me find an accurate short word for what they are, judging by actions.

      The term settler was chosen long ago to prettify colonialism.

      Settler implies settling on uninhabited land instead of colonizing land which is already inhabited by stealing homes from the natives.
