So you're of the belief the son pays for the debt of the father - which country has paid off this debt? The US, Germany, France (ad infinitum)? Seems a bit unhinged to me.

They can, for starters, return sculptures and artifacts they have stolen, they can come out, suck their egos, and admit their horrific acts in public. That's a good compromise. The Germans know and have admitted their horrific acts, where are the Americans and the Russians admitting how they pillaged and raped Berlin? The Russians in Poland? Where are the Brits admitting how they treated their prisoners in every country they pillaged, how they pitted communities against each other? Where are the rest of the European countries talking about their horrific acts in Africa? Canada and Natives anyone? I could continue but you get the idea. Just because ITT it just happened to be the Brits, doesn't mean the rest should be scoff free. Humanity needs to address its vile past, and those that played part need to pay for it. Germans only paid because they were the losers. The only reason Turkey admitted to genocide is because they are made to. Israel will never acknowledge zionism and their literal genocide of the Palestinians because they are backed by the US.

  "and admit their horrific acts" - I don't think any person from the UK/US has engaged in any of this (both educational systems teach about the wrongs of the Empire and American expansionism at the cost of natives AFAIK), but you're prescribing guilt, it's vindictive madness. Does a child born in the UK from African parents inherit this sin?

    A person may be free from guilt, but a nation is not. I can, with absolute certainty, tell you that the educational system of the Uk does not go into details on the horrific acts of their empire, they do not get into details of how they pitted communities against each other and orchestrated coups all around the world that resulted in 'interventions', all premeditated, they do not go into details on the torturing they committed.
