    I’m sorry, I fundamentally do not know… how to respond to someone earnestly saying they want to visit mount rushmore. I just. Sincerely, I hope you have a very happy life.

      Eh, big carving is art, even if it is art of president faces.

      Still neat even if anarchism is my ideal lol. I do still like (or “have interest in” at least, if we have to be rigid in our definition of “like”) history, and art (incl sculpture). I mean, would I prefer the undisturbed natural cliff face from before the carving of it? Yeah sure, but unfortunately my time machine is on the fritz lol.

      Tbf I’d go see “world’s largest pheasant” if I was driving by Huron, and yes I know it’s made out of fiberglass, fuck it we’re in town lol. Same thing.

          I mean yes, “treatment of native americans was historically bad,” but then like leave the country because it’s the WHOLE THING. There’s not ONE clean inch of soil here. What’s more idk where the hell you’d go because atrocities have happened just about everywhere on earth if you go back far enough. Maybe Antarctica?

          I get it, I’m not allowed to find historical things interesting because bad things happened, my bad.
