well, but that awareness doesn’t unfuck those countries. so they’re still right
Comment on The museum collections scene is the most realistic scene in Indiana Jones, cmv.

Westerners will say “but those relics are safer with us, since your country is fucked” without a hint of self awareness about who fucked up these countries to begin with. And regardless of the situation in those countries, it is THEIR decision where their relics get to be kept safe, not the decision of the people who stole it.

ISIS felt the same, then they blew up the Buddhas in Afghanistan, and destroyed countless other artifacts in Iraq

Uh, no. The Taliban ordered the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan, not Daesh / IS.
Daesh destroys relics, but the Buddhas were destroyed in 2001, before Daesh was even a part of Al Qaeda.

No invasion of Iraq, no Isis. Again, we’re back to what I mentioned, in the end it’s not up to you, the thief nation that stole it.

I’m not from the nation that stole it nor from the nation that created it but Iď love for the ancient artefacts to continue existing. I feel like they’re not just a heritage of one nation, they’re human heritage. The Taliban didn’t create any of the artefacts they destroyed. They have no right to destroy such things just because they live at the same place as the creators. I’m sure the ancient creators would be furious if they new.
