      I don’t think anyone seriously thinks guilt can be inherited… “Ancestral guilt” is a totally stupid concept, and framing colonial reparations that way is arguing in bad faith.

      I thought it would be funny to point out we literally have the receipts of colonialism, but that turned out to be arguing with pigeons.

        I am glad the nicer version of the argument you have created for yourself matches up with the argument that you wish they had made.

          Is that what I’m doing, what Pug is doing or what you are doing? (downvote if it’s you so I can know)
