What’s to stop me from stealing a bag I want from a counterfeiter selling on the street? I figure they can’t go to the police and after a certain distance of chase I could claim it was my bag they wanted to steal.
Also they’re an immigrant so I wouldn’t have to feel bad.
@AftynOSRS@devo7500 I guess it’s a bit difficult for me to imagine it through the mind of a 17th century colonialist. I can’t find if it was considered gross because it was a staple for lower class people or if it was because they would wash up on the shores and rot.
@SteelCityClaire I mean the thing with the British Museum is that the British knew the people they were taking from either didn’t care or weren’t stable enough about preserving their own history.
