    A honey trap… or a house full of nazis?

    Are people actually doing a pilgrimage to honor a genocidal sociopath?

    I can only work up so much enthusiasm for hearing about a new police station but this sounds like the best solution.

    A commission of experts came out against turning the building into a museum, advocating instead for a redesign that would not be easily recognizable.

    The building’s ochre-yellow was turned white, the arched windows were replaced by simple rectangular shapes and the facade has been extended upward toward the roof. Debris from the construction was disposed at a secret location to ensure it would not become a new source for Nazi memorabilia, APA reported.

    It’s sensible to reformat the building as opposed to demolishing, even the vacant lot would have the same pilgrimage problem. Anything existing there would be a hateful pilgrimage location. I guess actively and inherently patrolled sidesteps all that.

      Hugo Boss approves.
      j/k I see your point, it isn’t enough to replace one authoriatarian over another. How convenient for the “current” administration with pressure from the ADF

    I recently passed through Braunau, Hitler’s birthplace, on my way to a wedding in Hungary.

    There’s absolutely nothing to see there.

    If this is supposed to become an international gathering place for all those megalomaniacal Nazis, Musk, Trump, and their ilk will have to shell out a lot of money to make their pathetic ideas seem less pathetic than they already are.

    I think even they lack the money for that, since their attempts across all of today’s media are already costing them a fortune, and they only succeed with people who are already so useless that humanity would be much better off without them.
