    Don’t bring this up with British people. They have brainrot from decades and decades of conservative propaganda, even if they are otherwise left-leaning, and will often result in the stupidest arguments just because they haven’t bothered to spend 5 minutes to think about them.

      Or, you know, they just agree that the artifacts should just be returned.

      Generalising across a while group, let alone a nationality, is just plain dumb

        Fair enough. It’s just incredibly disheartening to find how certain kinds of chauvinistic attitudes that belong in the 19th century are so widespread even amongst people I expected would know better.

      I’m British, visited an anthropology museum last week and left feeling angry. Give it all back.

      Unnecessarily insulting and broad statement there.

      Most people over here are pro-returning artifacts. It’s just that it’s a common anti-British talking point and not many people actually have the agency affect what happens with the artifacts, so eventually it just gets frustrating to hear about all the time.
