How long does an artifact need to be in a British museum for it to lose its own provenance and simply become "British museum artefact"? I feel like this is extra spicy cultural appropriation

Someone decided to stick the top of a 40k cruiser on an old first rate hull lmao
Where tf are you finding footie jeans??
You guys shit the bed. Shiess the bed. Whatever you sourkraut fuckers want to call it. It would have been easier to set yourselves on fire in a bunker. Fascism is as fascism does. Tell us "it's for the greater good". You're just cutting away the undesirables. You admins do so much for our own good and we should be grateful you know so much better than we do. That's why you have all those updoots
I read it, and it's nutless. I'm hearing "we preemptively protected ourselves from legal liability, showing our willingness to do so again without notice or discussion. However, we pinky promise to not do it again unless we feel like it". And what I'm inferring is that this platform will sell me out if it's legally convenient for them. That's not encouraging.
Sci fi is great. Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds is one of my all time favorites and has quite a bit of tasty comeuppance.
Let's look at all those groups as a percentage of the population and you tell me who should recieve the attention. Women? Half the population? Black people? Maybe 20-30% of the population around me? Elderly people with dementia? Now we have a very tiny group, except literally anyone could become a part of this group eventually. Now the LGBTQIA+. Not even 1 in 10, and that's in our VERY accepting society with legally protected status. You don't even get rounded up in concentration camps. Not here anyways. But could rupaul spare a shout out for my people on the rez? Nah. Better talk about lizzo some more. She needs the exposure.
When I chose not to be anything else. Lmfao you're telling me that people who transition had no choice? People who are gay have no choice whatsoever than to express that tiny facet of their larger being? Clearly the gun they pressed to their own head was forcing them against their will to only want sexual relationships with their own gender or have no sexual relationships whatsoever whatever the case may be. That's how humans work. Can't choose anything about yourself at all except what your cells tell you that you must be. That's why transitioning is outlawed, as it violates this lack of choice for humanity.
Imagine having the independence to fuck up your own country as you like lmao you're talking about comparing a genocide to intermittent cultural oppression like they're even remotely similar. I'm sorry the Europeons came to your country and made things worse for your people. Mine never left and have only recently agreed to stop sending us to mandatory death camps dressed up as houses of God. Do your people still have concentration camps? Mine are called reservations.
Imagine your people being politically valuable instead of being thrown into the worst badlands the government could find and forgotten.
Oh, ok. So.... Caitlin Jenner? Ezra Miller? How about RuPaul? I can think of a half dozen filthy rich twinks off the top of my head. How about filthy rich natives? Here I'll give you an easy one: the owner of famous Dave's. Only reason I even know is because that guy is half my tribe, and the tribe talks. You find me one more with active connections to the native community. Go on. I'll wait right here.
It's not that no other social issue deserves attention, it's that the lgbtqia+ social issue is not as important as its media footprint would suggest. Give me ONE native American icon that has one tenth the visibility of Ezra Miller or Caitlin Jenner. The entire nation has heard of fucking Lizzo but not one person on the street can name a single Indian reservation or native actor. It's fucking infuriating when you people live on stolen land and don't even think about who you killed to take it and continue to oppress to keep it.
As an overwhelming majority, they arent. The ones with mental health issues might be, which are disproportionately common considering the extremely small percentage of the population we have been talking about to begin with. However, imo that's a larger mental health care issue than strictly a lgbtia+ issue anyways. The point I'm making here is that people truly struggling with basic right to live shit (ie food, water, shelter) arent worried about getting their next dose of hormones or what dive bar they can pick up some ass at. Look at the truly poor communities and tell me that a gay bar and some estrogen pills will do anything for them. You'll tell me next "oh no it's about identity and the right to be who they are!!1!" Lmfao imagine being so fucking free as to CHOOSE your own identity instead of having it branded on you at birth like a fucking animal. Hell, some of you even get to choose new parts if the factory didn't send you what you wanted. Meanwhile, on the actual rez, Sam the injun boy gets to play with arid dirt and hope the financial services check comes on time this month so mom and dad don't scream so much. You see the disparity here?
What I'm saying is that I'm tired of hearing about wants constantly on the news when our country is filled with so much need it hurts. You want to transition. That's good. I'm so happy for you that you've figured out who you want to be. You want a safe community for all your people to gather and share. Totally understandable, people have been doing that for thousands of years. What I am concerned about is what people NEED to live. People need shelter that doesn't make them unable to afford food. People need food that isn't so preserved with chemicals and colorants it gives them cancer 20 years down the line. People need water that isn't full of whatever runoff dupont feels like dumping in 10 miles up the river. None of the other issues become any less important, but we need to understand that needs are more important than wants on a fundamental level. And we are not meeting the needs of our people. Until that happens, I'm gonna be mad about people crying for their wants.
It's not a fight for equality. Nobody wants equality because equal for us sucks every ass. It's a fight to be at the front of the line for the money fountain, and every feel good story about an eleventy thousand dollar hormone treatment that got approved could have been a fucking well in a reservation that would have given clean water to hundreds of native people. I'm glad Suzy doesn't have to be Kevin any more, but Kevin still would have had food, water, and a place to sleep. Some of us don't even have that. So yeah, until all of us have the basic shit covered, I'm going to mad about the overexposure of a niche group who cry about their wants instead of recognizing all the need around them.
The real fantasy here is that the lgbtqia+ community is something other than fractions of a percentage of the population with extremely niche interests. Voltron all you like, but you're still an extremely small percentage of the whole with an extremely overexposed media footprint. I'm glad yall are being celebrated again as my people once celebrated and venerated twinsouls, but we also need to refocus our outrage on the shit that affects all of us, like net neutrality and basic right to live shit. Gender affirming care is wonderful for the people who have ready access to food, water, and shelter. I am more worried about the people who don't have even those basic things. And the number of those people in this country grows every day.
How does that little dude string a 10 foot bow? Lmfao
Doors wide open for Ukrainian refugees, no questions asked. But pay back the natives for fucking them over for literally hundreds of years on their own land? We gotta think about it. Yall fuckin whites are a cancer
