    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.

        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.
