Oh while we’re at it, yeah, those Iranian Crown Jewels should also be returned to Kollur.

More info: I think what you’re missing is atrocities have been committed and forgotten.

Let’s stick to the topic at hand: we’ll unravel the stack reverse chronological order.

The point here is not to somehow e redistribute all the wealth all over the world. The point is to make reparations. The kingdom of Britain squatting over India for 309 years and then leaving is not morally the right thing to do.

I think leaving it was the morally right thing to do, and in light of the way the world was before and the way it changed for the better away from colonialism, it was the only right thing to do.
