Thing is, a lot of it was looted. Not even like "Napoleon" style looted specifically for museums, like straight up, "The only reason we have it is because some officer thought it would make a nice trinket and snapped it off of some priceless altar and got bored of it and donated it later in life" sort of thing.
There's a reason archeologists look on archeology in the 19th century with a good deal of cringe, and it's not just the rampant racism and sexism. A LOT got destroyed in the process of "We want to learn about these things but we have no cultural frame of reference to study it in except to steal it from These People(tm)"
You want age inappropriate? I can do age inappropriate
I could hear "Where's" being used for "Whereas" deeper in the mountains, come to think of it.
"Where's I's on the bed, I leaned 'round the corner"
"Where's most of the animals is scared"
"Where's they's can pick locks"
Shortening of 'whereas' maybe?
I don't think I've ever heard it, but if I did, I would think a Mainer or rural area of New York or something.
Sounds New England to my Appalachian ears.
I woke up one day and my leg started being communist. I haven't been able to get rid of it since.
Wow, how entirely unforeseeable that you're out here shilling for fascists. /s
Those working in industries vital to war production and agriculture.
Into 1943 voluntary enlistment for young men was disallowed to prevent those with valuable skillsets from going into the military.
I only clarify because in a situation where every able body is fighting you’ve already lost, there needs to be logistics, maintaining utilities, growing food, etc
Conscription is actually a way to ensure that. In the Ukrainian War, as well as at least the US during WW2 (I'm less familiar with other countries' conscription systems during WW2), conscription is used to prioritize those with skills which are not economically vital during wartime - during WW2, even, some skilled workers weren't even allowed to volunteer, much less be conscripted, for military service.

If you donate your body to science, and they sell the bits they can't use to get money to do science, are you still fulfilling the original intent of the donation?
