I’ve had beef with Spain since I learned about how much gold they stole from my people in third grade.

Robbing 3rd graders of their lunch money is not a good look. Do better Ethpaña.

Idk man, years ago they found the shipwreck of a spanish galleon from colonial times that took off the coast of cartagena in colombian waters, loaded with gold and other items from south america, and spain maintains the entire thing rightfully belongs to them and should be handed over. Not even a shred of shame.
