You don't snitch to cops. Maybe to the museum. Maybe put out word that theres a gold thing so much more valuable than what it can be melted down for floating around on the market. Maybe put out a bounty.
Never. Fucking. Snitch. Not even when you think it would be convenient.
You know better than that.
Yeah i guess I should just never snitch unless i want to.
You know what they say: snitches get stitches, so call the police any time you rip your clothes or lose a lot of weight and need something taken in!
Yeah so just fuck our history then right? It's all up for the highest bidder, right? Fuck museums, they're fair game, yeah? Might as well steal the tiles from the taj mahal. There's no significance there, right? See how fucking stupid you sound? The world needs artifacts to connect with history. Your anarchy doesn't get to rob people of their heritage.
Edit: ya know what that sounds like, right? Sounds like you're fighting on the side of capitalism.
Edit 2: I'm sorry, I just can't let this dumb fuck idea go. So ya know what? Sure just melt the copper dead sea scroll down for wire, right? Melt king tits burial mask down for some coins, yeah? What could go wrong if we used the constitution for tinder? We couldn't possibly learn from any of these things. As long as someone can steal the Rosetta stone, they deserve to keep it, right? Maybe I'm your neighbor and I throw up a flag on your lawn. That's mine now. The fuck are you gonna do about it? Stealing is always virtuous, right? What a smooth-brained take to have.
If your heritage is cops, if thats the only thing you can think of to protect it, if none of your people are educated enough to care and protect it, and you want to beat them into compliance, use your heritage to abuse your people while you feed me lines straight out of the British museum's PR department?
Yeah. Fuck your heritage I guess. Have at it. Fuck it into a homogenous paste. It's obviously not doing you any good, didn't lead to any society worth shit if the only tool you have to fix shit is cops.
Not saying my culture of origin is any better–it's not–only that your perception of yours its values and its methods of acting paint me a picture of a dog shit society that deserves to be forgotten.
To be clear; my argument is that you didn't have to suck this much, and the cops failed because this is not what cops are for.
It's OUR heritage. As the human race. This is the last I'll entertain of your ideas.
