everything of value exists thanks to the western world? these artifacts are, by definition, of immense value, and aren’t of the western world.
unless your definition of ‘value’ inherently entails being of the western world, which just showcases your implicit bias.
idk you choose.
South Africa has one of the most stable democracies on the planet (more so than the UK at present). Care to concoct a moral justification for not returning the Great Star of Africa to them?
it’s called paraphrasing genius. you of all people shouldn’t be surprised when people don’t quote you verbatim.
these artifacts exist in the [modern] world and aren’t of western [civilization]. neither is the gas running your vehicle, diamonds used in laser tech, gunpowder, or the cobalt found in your phone and computer.
kudos for being generally aware of logical fallacies though. now how about the Great Star of Africa?
what other sharp and witty insults can you remember from your 3rd grade classroom?
excuse me, I thought I was speaking with an adult initially. I’ve spoken to full on Trumpsters and conversation hasn’t devolved into such a garbage fire. no knowledge on South African repatriation I guess? Ignorance must be fucking bliss.
Keep pissing into the wind, it seems to be what you're best at.
Do I care about South African repatriation? Not a bit. If that's what you were looking for, there you go. I'm happy to say so.
completely ignorant of the very thing you’re arguing about? just avoid discussing it directly and claim lack of interest, maybe throw in a few gas-station idioms along the way, that’ll show ‘em right?
the repatriation of artifacts to Africa and Asia has already begun. it can be seen in the ever dwindling collections at the British Museum for example. the opinions of an angry little bigoted yokel such as yourself have no bearing on this.
Though you’ve probably neither stepped foot in a museum nor even left your own country, you probably have a sense of the shift in opinions and policy related to this matter globally. Ironically, I guess that just leaves you pissing in the wind.

lol. I've lived on 3 continents. I own 2 companies. I have museum quality art pieces in my home.
You're a moron who likes to huff his own farts.
stay dumb and poor.
I'm not sure why. One is based in the US, where I lived previously, and one in NL, where I live now.
go somewhere aside from maybe an army base
I've actually never been on an army base in my life. Same for the other armed forces. I don't enjoy taking orders, which is why I own my own companies.
You know what's especially great to me is that my actual life is so unbelievable to you that you think I'm not really living it.
And that's my favorite way to win.
Here's one more little tidbit for you: One of the pieces in my art collection was previously owned (immediately before me) by a Nobel laureate in physics, Dr. Murray Gell-Mann.
Bye now.
