It’s just a quirk of chemical nomenclature. This indicates that they are flammable orphans.

Unless whatever group is in power has expressed that they wish to destroy those artifacts, I would prefer to work with whatever government there is to not only transfer the artifacts back, but help them setup whatever infrastructure is required to maintain them, including training of staff in their care.
Your bias is exactly the same on that led to those artifacts being stolen. It can be summed up as “these are savages, how can we trust them with their own things?” The West stole these artifacts and in many cases destroyed other artifacts or defaced historical sites to take them in the first place. It’s chauvinistic to continue this cycle. Give them back, try to make things right, and if things get destroyed, that’s just how it goes. It wasn’t the West’s to take in the first place. More progress is made by working with people than pearl-clutching. This is accepting the world as it is and trying to make it better all at once.
MeowZedong@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Strikes on Iranian nuclear sites thrust US into escalating Middle East conflictEnglish10·2 months agoI know you just copied the headline of the article, but that headline is doing some serious heavy lifting in terms of saying the US has no control over its actions.
“Oh no, we bumbled our way into a war again! Couldn’t be helped, not our faults. Whatever are we to do?”
Much like the theft of historical artifacts by the UK et al, ISIS was the result of decades of imperialist meddling by the US. Maybe just leave things be and let the locals work out what they want to do with their land, their people, and the artifacts on it. Offering assistance without strings attached is good, interventions are bad.
It’s like offering to help your neighbor with their yard: it’s acceptable to offer to lend them your mower, but it’s not acceptable to dig up everything on their property, replace it with grass sod, and spray it regularly with herbicides because you didn’t like the look of their local fauna and are afraid the dandelions and clover would spread to your lawn after your first intervention.

Cathartic as it must be to destroy, I figure you could still disable them with less legal risk to yourself.

Half the time it’s a well-intentioned and ignorant adult providing them the means.

I once watched this nature documentary named “Princess Mononoke” and can confirm that wild pigs continue to live on even after physical death.
Gotta have them treats too.

This way your manly coin horde jingles as you walk, making the small pocketed people attracted to/jealous of you.

Shame. Thanks for the heads up!
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of differences between socialism and communism.
Modes of production aside, socialism is just the transition period between capitalism and communism but does not have fundamentally different goals from communism. The goal of socialism is to reach communism. The differentiation is just a matter of how far society has progressed in that transition and their modes of production. Socialists are communists. Any differentiation outside of the above context is colloquial or otherwise a result of the uninformed misusing the terms as you have.
Nationalized healthcare in the UK != Socialism and != a socialist policy, it is a social/welfare program. Social/welfare programs are agnostic of modes of production, which is why they can exist in both socialist and capitalist economies.
Please refer to the socialism entry on Prolewiki as well as the modes of production link I added above. This is one of the most commonly confused things about socialism and communism. If you really want to say you don’t like the idea of communism, you should at least be informed about what it is you don’t like and don’t think applies to our modern society. These are short articles that collectively take <5 minutes to read through.
What you are advocating for is social democracy.
Get a hexbear in here and their emojis could fix this right up.
In my experience, the liberals will now say your source is incorrect/misleading/seeseepee propaganda for some unfalsifiable reason (their opinion) or they will immediately jump to racism and call the Chinese robots who cannot think for themselves.
The first is typical online, the second offline, where there is no paper trail.
