Trump will act as of the attack was unprovoked. and more people and countries than were comfortable will fall in line and act if the US did not strike at all.
i see the problem, you're assuming I'm the British museum in the metaphor, but I'm more like the UK in the metaphor.
And there are plenty of artifacts from the museum that ended up in ebay, but don't worry, the museum promised they will investigate themselves whenever it happens.
Why is a foreign entity, gets to decide what to do with stolen artifacts?
could I rob a bank, and when they catch me I can blame the bank for low security,.and not have to return anything because I will allow some people to come to my house and show them some bank stationary I also stole? while keeping the money for myself and do with it as I please. while pinky promising to not use the money I stole, but there's no oversight or consequences if I don't.
I want to believe, that the eligible people who join are mostly doing it because there's no way anyone would join, so they just want to know what tf is going on, then discover that everyone there had the same reason, then they go for a pint to talk how stupid and comical it is.
People in Africa/asia, have to get a visa, and spend thousands (if they manage to be super cheap might only be a few hundred) of pounds to see their own historical artifacts, and keep in mind most of the artifacts are not in display, and it is the British curators who decide what is displayed, and what will likely end up in ebay.
IE: my metaphor is correct
but I'll tell everyone I'm more responsible than those brown/people and that's why I get to keep them
sounds horrible, imagine trillions going to improving the country and helping people instead of being funneled into the pocket of the wealthiest people in the country.
I said we were in a post truth society, then post irony society (when reality became more absurd than the onion), now we are in a post reality society, when there's practically no way for anyone to know what's going on, as photos, and videos can be believable faked.
we will quickly jump to a postpast society, where the past itself can be believably faked.
was the holocaust real? here is a documentary from 1945 about it made when it was liberated, but here is another documentary that claims to be from 1945 showing it with "prisoners" happy, with a dance hall, and partying with the guards, and how they sang while working... all claim to be real, all with articles about them how theybare real, all with articles about the other one being fake.
There will be no past, objective reality will be an unreachable goal.
based on echo bubbles your neighbour will live in a very different reality than you.
things like this have been going on for a while, but it'll be so common it'll be the new normal to not have reality.
Right wing nationalists push for energy independence
Environmentalists push for not destroying the place we live
Healt advocates push for better air quality
...
but Oil shareholders like money so fuck everyone else.
Half the issue is the British museum, and the other is the British government,
but as a result, we have stolen artifacts being kept for selfish and racist reasons.
like ,we got them, and you guys cannot be trusted with your own history.
As long as the country in question aren't currently in a serious crisis, artifacts should be returned.
