    I’m going to just gloss over your extremely naive scenario where these Nazi lovers go to the top of the elevator and then open their eyes and learn something. Cuz I mean come on.

    Instead let’s move on to this. This isn’t hypothetical. We already know that Nazis make pilgrimages to this place. Some of them even take pictures about it and then go on to be Republican legislators. This place which was always a monument to Hitler, still is. Or was maybe hopefully. This isn’t a matter of debate. You’re arguing for an active Nazi Monument to to which Nazis make pilgrimages to.

    I’m all for the museums. I’m all for the remembrances. Build them. But I don’t want to keep the God damn Hitler monument. Also I don’t know if you fucking noticed, but it ain’t stopping history from repeating. So maybe a better way to stop history from repeating is to tear down The Monuments glorifying the history we would don’t want repeated. Then build your museums.
