It was at one point. It stopped being a museum because of income issues because people in this country aren’t the “learn your horrible history” type, they’re more the bulldoze and forgot type.
And this here is why capitalism is good, it prevents the masses from forcing the horrors of history to be dull and gloomy just because the vast majority of people want it to be.
Ahhh that’s why the US is such a shit country. I get it! It’s because of the genocide of the indigenous people. So the entire US is kinda like Auschwitz. It’s just not a place you want to live.
Contrasting the Plantation vs Auschwitz is about a living celebration of evil vs. a living reminder of evil. Which, I mean, I totally get it if you want to paint the whole nation with a brush like that, but I hope you at least apply that logic to all destruction of indigenous peoples and cultures, not just in the US.
The more accessible point to be made in this context is that Mt. Rushmore should be like Auschwitz. Given the nature of the Six Grandfathers and the Black Hills - yeah, absolutely.
You can not advocate for something to happen but be glad it did.
Agreed. I never advocated for violence against CEOs, but Luigi has already saved hundreds of lives (United healthcare started approving more claims immediately after BT died) and he revitalized the debate for socialized medicine so I am very glad he did was he did.
I am specifically advocating for this to be burnt down. These monsters gleefully ignore the torture and murder that went on here when the building was made. Imagine modern Germans throwing parties and getting married at Buchenwald. Imagine if Dachau’s website made no mention of the 40,000+ people murdered there.
Historical sites shouldn’t be preserved just because they’re old. They should be preserved with context, and when the context is taken away, the reason to preserve them is as well.
And the quoted person wasn’t for advocating or glorifying the history of the house or property and yet somehow you’re ok with insulting them personally.
It should have been bought by the fed and turned into a museum of shit Sherman didn’t burn.
Louisiana’s usage of the term “parish” for a geographic region or local government dates back to the French colonial and Spanish colonial periods and is connected to ecclesiastical parishes.
I’m aware but if we’re talking about buildings built in the backs of inhumane acts then religion tops all but race and I’m pretty sure there would be a different reaction if it were a church burning down.
Fuck that guy

Were it an actual museum of sorts, I’d agree. This wasn’t a place people went to learn about the horrors of slavery, it was a fucking resort
Yeah, visiting that should have been like visiting fucking Auschwitz, not a vacation.

Oh thank God for the people working to make the horrors of history less horrible
Edit: oh shit, did I eat the onion? Imma feel bad about that downvote if I missed the implied /s
I almost missed it myself, but I’m quite confident it’s peeking out from behind “the vast majority of people want it”
Oh yeah that’s exactly what was happening there.
🤡
Wow, this was the strongest case of Poe’s law I’ve seen in awhile. Well done.

It literally was a museum it wasn’t profitable so it was sold and made a resort.
Well, people aren’t specifically advocating for this to be burnt down, they’re just happy to see a remnant of slavery gone away.

Shame they didn’t do that beforehand, then someone could’ve finished what Sherman started.
In Louisiana, they call their counties “parishes.” It has nothing to do with religion lol
lol
Yes, it means “geographical region” in this context because we are not in French and Spanish colonial times… It is not religious any more.
The origin of the word ‘county’ is:
It no longer has anything to do with feudalism, just like parish has nothing to do with religion anymore.
I’m aware but if we’re talking about buildings built in the backs of inhumane acts then religion tops all but race and I’m pretty sure there would be a different reaction if it were a church burning down.
Oh I thought you were saying previously that it was burned due to a religious affiliation with the parish, I misunderstood your last sentence
