    You could make the same argument about slavery. It’s happened for all of human history.

    So there’s no issues with slavery, right?

    How about rape? No problem with rape? It’s been happening since time immemorial. Animals even do it. So rape is fine, right?

      I would like to note that there’s plenty of war loot the US has that we took from dead Nazis, Imperial Japanese, Central Powers, Confederates, etc, and that’s pretty dope and they shouldn’t have it back.
