Yeah, visiting that should have been like visiting fucking Auschwitz, not a vacation.

It was at one point. It stopped being a museum because of income issues because people in this country aren't the "learn your horrible history" type, they're more the bulldoze and forgot type.

Ahhh that's why the US is such a shit country. I get it! It's because of the genocide of the indigenous people. So the entire US is kinda like Auschwitz. It's just not a place you want to live.

Contrasting the Plantation vs Auschwitz is about a living celebration of evil vs. a living reminder of evil. Which, I mean, I totally get it if you want to paint the whole nation with a brush like that, but I hope you at least apply that logic to all destruction of indigenous peoples and cultures, not just in the US.

The more accessible point to be made in this context is that Mt. Rushmore should be like Auschwitz. Given the nature of the Six Grandfathers and the Black Hills - yeah, absolutely.
