Rushmore
(lemmy.world)
A sacred mountain range taken from the Lakota Sioux by gunpoint in the Great Sioux War of 1876.
And the Lakota Sioux took it from the Cheyenne tribe by arrow point only 100 years prior to that. So yea, the Sioux had the land stolen from them by force, but they stole it by force themselves before that. And by this point, the US has controlled the land longer than the Sioux ever did.
On the other hand, the US did have a formal treaty with the Sioux that granted them the land which the US willfully broke when gold was discovered.
Firstly, you disgust me, I can see you are refraining from using a slur, in future I encourage you to be honest, we see you.
Secondly, the fascist carving was undertaken by a member of the klan, who'd previously done something similar with a confederate general.
Being mad about not using a slur is one of the things I have seen on this website.
i sense a new copypasta has been brewed right here
What slur are you talking about
I honestly can't even think of what slur someone would think I'm avoiding? Like, what would even fit?
Well, I'm not gonna say it!
curious, where is this from?
squints
Civ... 4?
Requires what now?
His favorite game to play outside was cowboys and Indians. Tales of the American West were very popular among boys in Austria and Germany. Books by James Fenimore Cooper and especially German writer Karl May were eagerly read and re-enacted. May, who had never been to the American West, invented a hero named Old Shatterhand, a white man who always won his battles with Native Americans, defeating his enemies through sheer will power and bravery. Young Hitler read and reread every one of May’s books about Old Shatterhand, totaling more than 70 novels. He continued to read them even as Führer. During the German attack on the Soviet Union he sometimes referred to the Russians as Redskins and ordered his officers to carry May’s books about fighting.
Rushmore? No thanks I'll make more mistakes if I do.
Better call in Frieren to finish him off.
Every time I see this I am reminded by how tiny and thereby underwhelming it looks in real life. The original was more majestic.
I'm reminded of bungee jumping.
"There isn't any president we can't rhyme!"
(Too bad none of them are named Chuck.)
Rushmore itself is a gross travesty. Was an Indigenous sacred site called He Sapa. Defaced now.
Yeah, for any gringos with a limited Knowledge of indigenous history, imagine if ISIS genocided 99% of the world's Catholics, and then built a giant statue of its founders on top of the ruins of the Vatican.
That's what Mt. Rushmore is
The only President I recognize is
Oil sustains the spell. It's the only explanation for gestures vaguely at everything
They're looking to give him a 5th head.
Might as well also add the one to whom he gave head.
The only statue Trump deserves. One where he's giving head.
I wanted to comment on this but didn't know what to comment
What about Morerush?
