    At least my speculation is helping victims instead of shilling for the fucking royals.

      Nah, I couldn’t give two shits about the royals. I just don’t want to see a ridiculous precedent set.

        Why not? Do you think Germany paying restitution long after WWII set a precedent that applies to you?

        Do you just fear acknowledging the wrongs of the past?

          Fun facts:

          We finished paying off our World War 1 reparation debt in 2010.

          Although we’re going to pay Namibia 1.1 billion, although those are explictely not reparations officially, because we also don’t want to set a precedent on the matter.

          (and needless to say we’re still actively paying for the Holocaust)
