    Fair enough, but it’s quite far away from enslaving and murdering.

    Edit: I see the difference between stealing versus raping, enslaving and murder. Not saying stealing is right, but there is more than a nuance to it lol.

      Countries built their generational wealth on the backs of slaves though. Look at how, for instance, Belgium enriched itself though the horrific abuses in the Congo. While it’s true that no one alive was directly responsible, they still benefit from it.

      It’s the trophies from the enslavement and murder. They didn’t get to keep the people, but they did keep souvenirs.
