    I also think it’s stupid to hold people accountable for atrocities done centuries ago before electricity.

    At the same time, many families got rich off of slave labour, and have passed that ill gained wealth down from generation to generation.

    Just because you gave the car you stole away as a gift doesn’t mean it ain’t fucking stolen. It should be repossessed.

      Following along with the analogy, the original owner of the car is dead and so are all of their direct descendents - reuniting the person who was wronged with their beloved car is impossible. Should we… what, estate sale the car? Pull some sins of the father nonsense and fine the current owner for actions taken generations ago?
