You will never be able to get everyone to agree on anything and you can't hold a referendum for every artifact.
So as far as responsibility goes, barring edge cases, it should be left upto the government to decide, as they represent the people.
And tbh, this feels like an argument made in bad faith, because this is such a rare case. No government is going to ask for an artifact back and then destroy it. What happened in afganistan and Syria was a tragedy (they didn't ask for those artifacts back, they were already there) But that only happened because the previous governments had been destabilized by Russian and American influences. (Iraq war - Isis, Afganistan war - alqaeda)
There's no clear 'owner' in many cases.
Just return it to the country where it was taken from. And I don't think there are many cases where ownership is vague, most are pretty plain and clear.
then we should prioritize saving the artifacts over the ones that seek to destroy them.
That's not on you, that's on their original keepers. Otherwise you are propagating colonial era crimes and justifying them by arguing in bad faith.
P.s.
Museums have a notorious record when it comes to maintaining artifacts (they aren't shining beacons of humanity), especially the British museum.
They also do less than what's needed to discourage artifact smuggling.
Yeah, personally a huge fan of the game, but if you think spec ops the line is the last best game, then you really haven't played that many good games since.
There's also such a thing as subjective tastes and I believe that it's more so significant in games because of how diverse they are.
How's that defending Israel? Person is clearly pointing out a problem with Iran. And unless you're telling me that Iran is a perfect country, this isn't defending israel.
There was definite political will behind those operations and at least tacit support from the western powers at the time. (But only for those nazis which they felt weren't useful to them).
I don't really see the same being possible with any country in the future. If there was any political will to do so, they already would have put pressure on them. And as far as I can tell, there's very little actual pressure on them.
So this isn't happening, unless the Palestinians are able to form a government of their own and get support from a major superpower with which their interests align.
I thought I was the same, but I quite enjoyed hades. Though it's not a traditional roguelike.
It has a good mix of mindless fun that doesn't punish you when you lose and don't make progress. The story does heavy duty in making sure each run, no matter how successful it is, is fun/interesting.
I guess I still don't like rogue likes that much but I do like hades.
