He includes that any individual urging that "swiped" artifacts need to be come back to their countries of origin is "yet another instance of Western side virtue signaling, a pretentious articulation of meant moral superiority." Obviously, some museums in the United States and also Europe disagree, given the hoard of latest yields, including a team of Benin Bronzes coming from the Stanley Museum of Craft in Iowa..
