The empire is eating itself
not saying you or anybody else here is doing it, but seeing even the self-identified "leftist" yankees scream blue murder over this is so funny lol. The people who live there have been destroying ancient cultural heritage sites longer than any of us here have been alive but sure, let's weep blood over a ballroom that's not even 100 years old getting bulldozed to build another, fancier ballroom.
I don't even think it's a "fancier ballroom". Most likely just an excuse so they can expand the Fuhrerbunker. 40 billion to Argentina I feel like is going to be a life-line incase the plan they have doesn't work.
Tbh I am against this only because I think the White House should be a museum dedicated to the USA's history of colonialism & imperialism.
The Lincoln Memorial will be a museum for the USA's white supremacy.
The Capitol Building will be dedicated to the USA's history of capitalism.
The Washington Monument will be demolished and the stone used to build a statue of Fred Hampton in its place.
Nah raze it to the ground. Somethings are better forgotten.
Yeah I'd have to agree. It's the same logic as the argument that plantations should be preserved for history. They were the Mcmansions of their era and ugly af anyways and if the ancestors of the people enslaved there want it destroyed, we can take pictures of it and put THAT in a museum.
Especially now with the advances in 3D-prininting, digitization, simulation, and modelling we dont really need to sanctify purely ideological structures with little utilitarian use.
Death to America except for the tacky ballroom or something. Never mind that yanqui settlers bulldozed the mounds of cahokia or drowned Celilo Falls, the oldest continuously inhabited location in north america, for funsie.
Or that the guys who lived in that ugly, glorified plantation house carved their faces into a sacred mountain (overseen by a KKK member no less). For fun.
living through history hits different after being raised to believe history has ended
40 billion sent to Argentina and they're probably rebuilding the fuhrerbunker on the left side of the House and claiming it's a "ballroom". Will history rhyme?
It is starting to rhyme. There is a comrade that I follow in Red note that explained this with a poem from China:
The poem is old but it fits perfectly with the US knowing that there is an ongoing gov't shutdown and demand for food banks is increasing.
That's just one state. It gets crazier when you look at cities and realize with the cost of living MOST people rely on SNAP especially in some of the northern states. Things are going to get very dire when it comes to food.
