    Yeah let’s just infantalize these places and put conditions on how they are to treat their property that we stole if we’re nice enough to return it

      Ask the taliban about whether they should get more of their stuff back.

      Also how are those statues doing.

      Sometimes there is an objective right and wrong that doesn’t align with your mindless idealism because many people on this planet aren’t innocent and are actually assholes.

        Oh look, white savior garbage on Lemmy. Some people aren’t crypto colonialists. It’s none of England’s business what happens to these stolen items when they’re returned. I don’t get to steal your car and refuse to return it because I don’t believe you’ll change the oil every 3000 miles.

          Whistles That’s a false equivalence fallacy.

          These objects are not mere possessions but history itself. The right thing to do with stolen goods is to return them…

          But given that this is an artifact of great importance to humankind itself, there’s no sense in handing it over if it’s going straight in the trash.
