It’s not pedantic. It’s just that stuff enters the public domain at some point. Claiming we owe anyone for inventing the wheel would be lunacy, too. The only legitimate criticism is the hat.
The point isn’t ownership(except maybe the land), its the complaint about culture. Food is definitely a part of culture, so these guys are enjoying culture from other lands they’re scared of. They also benefit from other cultures, either because of cheaper products/labor, or just what they produce.
People disagreeing with me does not invalidate my opinion and it is likely they in part downvote since I am somewhat defending maga Nazis. Dogpiling and of course I am an annoyed “old” person, that’s sick of people using ancient revolutions to show how much we can benefit from internationalism. There are plenty of good reasons. But discovering new crops in foreign lands is none of them.
Also I belief most products are a common good and don’t belong to anybody to pay tribute to. You don’t get credit for someone related to you did 1000 years ago.
God, you are so insufferable. I’m really glad I dont know you in real life. You’re not even wrong, you are just being a jackass, and you are refusing to admit it.

At least 10 other people think you’re being a pedantic douche, and you’re still gonna dig your heels in on this one…I guess that’s an option.
