I'm talking about most of Washington DC and other landmarks that are symbols of the USA. What do you think should happen to them? Mostly kept around or mostly destroyed?
Things like statues (unless they are actually old or have historical worth) probably can go, buildings can probably stay.
What the Soviets and Chinese did. Turn them into people's palaces. Museums, centres of public admin, etc.
Eventually I think the US should look at moving its Capitol somewhere better. St Louis? Chicago? I dunno I'm from upside-down land.
We should move congress to St Louis at the very least (it's the most centrally located american city when weighed for population).
Also spread out the various agencies more.
I want to say I like the cold but my city has gone below 0C at night once in the last decade.
Barging in to inform everyone that in Kaiserrich if the Combined Syndicalists of America win the second civil war you can blow up Stone Mountain and replace it with a monument to John Brown.
Blow up Mount Rushmore, put a red flag in the statue of liberty's hand, add a pair of balls to the Washington monument.
as disgusting as the defacement was I could see the lakota wanting to do something transformative that doesn't involve blowing it up. either further carving or maybe something like filling it back in with something artistic or some other plan
I will hear no talk of destroying the statue of liberty. it is cool and has good intentions and inscriptions. just give her a hammer and sickle like in a cheezy soviets-win flick
I say we detach the Washington Monument, carve it up into a bunch of blocks, and make the world's largest game of jenga, played with cranes. Whoever wins this game wins a Hero of the People medal.
I say we yeet it into space on a suborbital trajectory that ends at Elon Musk's Martian bunker.
We should blow them up and then all collectively insist to one another that terrorists with planes did it, it'll be a great bit.
Blame it on the European and then wage war there until the entire region is ashes.
You’ve seen the footage of the swastika being blown up at Nuremberg? We do that on a mass scale
I'm conflicted. On the one hand turning DC into a giant museum about how shit capitalism is would be pretty good. Tactically, the central government should be housed in Colorado anyways. But destroying right wing symbols would be pretty demoralizing and that would be good too. At the end of the day though, it's probably more about getting rid of the people rather than the statues. I'm sure some people in ancient Rome had some political feelings towards statues of any caesar but nobody today really looks at it that way. Then again there are idiots in a completely different time and political environment who use those statues as symbols of their ideology. So, idk.
The pentagon being repurposed into public housing would be pretty funny. Decommissioning most/all of the secret bases and shit hidden all over would be good. The White House isn't even the original and who cares? Maybe keep it as a museum. But I'm not against burning it down (again) either. You could probably repurpose the mall into a better public space. Repurpose all those giant ass federal department buildings. Honestly it's probably going to be cheaper to knock down a lot of stuff than remodel. I don't even know what you do with the Capitol building.
nah just use it for nuclear storage no need to build yucca mountain. and this way we don't even need to kick the chuds out.
Its crazy because the national mall is the perfect example of how good federal land can be when it isn't infested with McDonald's and Ace Cash Express
For Colorado being the capitol, if rumors and conspiracies are true then the Colorado Airport is already suited to be transformed into some form of seat of power, and theres already other airports nearby so you can just repurpose it.
Dynamiting would be a waste imho. Just re-arrange some features and transform it into a free access sport climbing site.
All of those inscriptions that say shit like "The true administration of justice is the firmest pillar of good government" should be sanded off and replaced with chapo taglines
There least you can do is to repurpose the things and put giant red stars and hammers and sickles on everything.
And build a Tatlin Tower thing that dwarfs the imperialist monuments.
Turn them all into public housing
Even stuff that can't be like Stone Mountain and the Washington Monument
