Cat West (catawu@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 06-Dec-2024 06:34:52 JST Cat West @madeindex @pzmyers @junklight Nothing justifies stealing art or cultural objects from the people who made them. Nothing. It’s the same as: “You’re too poor to raise your own children so we are kidnapping them. You’re welcome.”

You want to ‘protect history’? Stop stealing it. Study it where it existed.
The theft of objects, even of bones, human remains from villages, has always been justified and those justifications are always bullshit. -

I offer you objects of which I have many and no interest in, in exchange. All good?” No thanks. Destroying cultures by pulling their roots is how we get generational turmoil across the globe. Justifying it is elitist nullification of the value of other cultures. We are not superior.

But surely it looks better in my museum? Surely you don't have the resources or education that I, the great rescuer of all that's shiny, possess and without want of either, compensation or permission have provided?
I offer you these lovely blankets and some tobacco!
Now, FUCK OFF WITH YOU!!¡ -

You're quite right.
You did not do proper maintenance!
You let your children use it as a toy!
You left it out in the weather!
NO! You can NOT have your mower back! -

If I don't want my shit back, then fine.
Otherwise it's not up to you to contemplate or decide. -

The notion that they have to meet a certain bar we set is a slippery slope. If they want it back, if they ask for the return, that should be immediate. There’s never a good time to finally return what was stolen. There’s only the moral obligation to do so.

We’re talking about artifacts, even the bones of ancestors being STOLEN and sold or displayed, WITHOUT PERMISSION. Please stop now. You’re on a different lane.
