Stop bitching about fedoras. It’s a hat. It’s not going to hurt you. Sit the fuck down.

Can anyone tell me why we call Tchaik by his full name, “Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky,” when we don’t say, like, “Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky” or “Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky”

Y’all are awfully communist for a bunch of people who hate group projects

isnt the point of a museum to preserve history though? id prefer something be in a controlled environment than outside in the elements.

Well then my God, every museum in the world should give all their artifacts back to the entitled people who want them.

Imagine this. Your grandmother has a ring she made. There’s a very particular way of making the ring that she employed, one that’s been handed down through your family line for centuries. It’s a beautiful ring. One day, when she’s not home, someone comes into your house, steals the ring, and puts it in a museum. When you ask for it back, they go “but it’s beautiful! And the technique is one we’ve never seen! Surely it belongs somewhere everyone can see it!” And yeah, the ring is beautiful, but it’s important to you because she used to play with it when she would tell you stories. Maybe, if the museum had asked for the ring, allowed you to write the description so it honored your grandmother, given you a choice in the matter, you might have considered donating it. Hell, if they had commissioned a piece from you using the same technique you probably would have been ecstatic to show your family’s art to the world. But they didn’t. They stole it. And to add insult to injury, they won’t even admit that they did so. This is what has happened with the Easter Island heads. And this is why they should give them back.

We shouldn’t need a fucking analogy to explain why you don’t steal shit from people, but this is a pretty good one.

Don’t forget the part where you demand they return the ring that was stolen from your house and they call you ‘entitled’ for trying to exercise your rightful claim to your culture and property.
