So? It's their right to do as is with their land. It may not be great (also be cherry picked), but it is their right.
This is the exact reasoning that was given for colonialism and slavery.
"These barbarians can't take care of themselves, they need civilization and christianity and they need to work for us to have good lives."
Colonist ass mindset. They'll destroy their own lands, pollute their environment and then hoard other people's culture because they don't want to admit they were shitty in the past.
As an American, we should be shipping our arts out of the country before the current regime decides it's subversive to the regime and burn it. Especially any art made by minorities, opposition or in places that might get bombed(any coastal city).
And that would be for the Individual Americans to decide, or the institutions.
It wouldn't have been plundered.
You are assuming that the artifacts such as those held in the British museum solely represent "saving culture" but they also represent the lingering colonial mindset. They weren't taken away to preserve, they were taken as plunder. LITERALLY.

6:40 <- mark, watch the whole thing if you have the time.
Imagine if Nigeria and other african countries invaded your country, forced you into indentured servitude, spread propoganda and took all the art/artifacts to their country and used the excuse that your president is a fascist douche turd and because of that none of you are worthy enough to handle it. You just can't be trusted with your own art and then never returned it even after things got objectively better.
