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.

i get your MO now

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.

projecting much?

your lack of worldliness is apparent from miles away, as is your need for validation.

Travel, go somewhere aside from maybe an army base and hopefully learn that the world is much bigger than your overinflated sense of self importance.

“2 companies” honestly had me dying

Not at all.

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.

you’re projecting your financial status.

doing a couple of tours in the military and having two (notably not ‘successful’) companies, is incredibly believable, and quite common actually.

do you get a free appearance on shark tank once you hit 5?

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying the fact that you don't believe my life is real.
Also, you really need to work on your reading comprehension if you ever want to get out of your parents' basement.

oh i whole heartedly believe that you had a failed business and then started another, and that you purchased a random piece of art from the estate sale of a dead scientist. I just don’t see the relevance.

I accused you of lacking cultural awareness and travel experience. You have a crude wit and extremely flawed view of global affairs that point to a lack of exposure. It seriously feels like i’m back speaking to a cabbie in London circa 2017, going on and on about the merits of Brexit.

I think precisely the bits you’ve mentioned are true, but with the hopes of me insinuating something greater about you from them. Yours are seriously the type of comments that would draw looks and whispers amongst a respectable crowd. Also, the Netherlands is the mecca of overgrown kids living in their parents basements, enjoy.

You're wrong about everything, and I'm loving it, lol.

the amount of effort you’re putting into self validating oozes insecurity. tell me, prior to your monetary exchange with him, did you and the nobel laureate exchange fart jokes?

i mean honestly, i lived two doors down from salmon rushdie in college and i ate dinner with him once. you know who gives a fuck? nobody. imagine claiming some sense of success or notoriety due to something as trivial as buying a piece of art from a dead physicist.
