I am willing to confess it is poor grammar. But I am also willing to defend the underlying logic to my death.

I'm going to debate your first premise. Humans are of nature, therefore anything humans can, will ever do, or conceive of is of nature, or natural. Might makes right is a saying that means whoever has more force or power will be victorious, it's a statement of fact, not morality. Slavery existed because one group of people had power over another group, that is might makes right, but it does not make it morally correct.

So it is, so it's always been. At least in nature, which we are apart of - might does make right.
I don't really see where they excuse colonialism, only that that they disagree the land colonialists conquered should be given back to the last tribe that conquered that land before colonists arrived.

Yes that is sound logic, and the "logic" of nature. If aliens can wipe us out they have every right to the land since we couldn't keep it. Just because it makes you feel bad doesn't make it untrue.
