Lol we live on a normal island with normal levels of self awareness 🙃
“These artifacts are stolen!”
“Correct”
No no not like that!!
“It belongs in a museum”
No fuck you Indiana Jones, it belongs to the people living there.Miniminutemen is one of my new favourite youtubers for having exactly the same take as you.
I was actually quoting Brennan Lee Mulligan, so you might enjoy him too.
“What we need is a reverse Indiana Jones that breaks into museum and fucks really old people”.Ooooo okies I’ll give him a look 👀
That film would be fucking dope unironically.
If only I had the money to finance it. Would be rad as fuck.
Like just make the new Indiana Jones movie where indy finally comes to terms with his liberalism and spends the movie stealing back all the great mcguffins from the first 4 movies to send back to their native lands.
Imagine the meltdown by Americans 😃 glorious
Lmao that would be great
Just that one cool bit of Black Panther
British museum is just the “accidental” offsite backup plan for a lot of history and cultural artefacts.
Can’t be destroyed during civil war we instigated if we steal the artifacts first
A bunch of Chinese artifacts have been stolen from museums in the west in extremely sophisticated ways. Unfortunately, it’s likely a bunch of billionaires retrieving the artifacts for private collections or currying favors, so we won’t see them
Call me a lib but does that actually happen?!
Interesting write up about this https://www.gq.com/story/the-great-chinese-art-heist
incredibly fucking based if true
this fucking quote
The works that mean the most to the Chinese are the ones that left during the so-called Century of Humiliation
SO-CALLED
also their bits about chinese billionaires buying art for 69 million or whatever is very clearly money laundering
Also “the ones that left”
Oh boy those art pieces are heading out! Off they go! Just, disappearing off into the distance as the active agent in the sentence!
The art just did that
Wait are you telling me that Xi has assembled a rag tag group of professional thieves (Let’s call them Xi’s eleven) to steal back looted art from western countries taken through imperialism?
That sounds based as hell.
Do you think it could be a few rich folk near the cpc funding the heists and in a few years China will go “oh look at all these stolen treasures that were donated anonymously uwu” or is it just a couple of rich Chinese millionaires funding this to puff out their homes?
Edit: ah so I used puff in the sense to kit out and fill to breaking point their homes in treasure and then worried the word filter would grab it but it didn’t. Admins/mods puff can be used as a slur for queer people in the UK, not sure if you wanna include that in the filter or not.
So close to being based
Yet so so so so so so so so so so so so far 😔
