"These artifacts are stolen!"

"Correct"

[-] Tastysnack@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

"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.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

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 πŸ‘€

That film would be fucking dope unironically.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

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 πŸ˜ƒ glorious

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

British museum is just the "accidental" offsite backup plan for a lot of history and cultural artefacts.

[-] Tastysnack@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Can't be destroyed during civil war we instigated if we steal the artifacts first smuglord

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?!

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

agony-deep

also their bits about chinese billionaires buying art for 69 million or whatever is very clearly money laundering

[-] CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

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! shrug-outta-hecks

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

The art just did that

[-] Tastysnack@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
