And yeah, oil under ground is not a known or widely registered resource, so in the collective awareness its existence is shady, this for some reason makes it allowed to remove it like this.

This is like some colonizer talking to a random native on the beach and having them sell their lands, sure, but who else was going to do it? The NWO? Fuck them.
