    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

        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.

        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.

      If anyone put the idea in his head, there is no doubt in my mind he’d try to have himself carved into it. I firmly believe the only reason he hasn’t is because he hasn’t remembered it exists.

        No no. He has on multiple times confirmed he’s going to do that.

        In response, most experts agree that if they even attempt it, the mountain isn’t strong enough to support any more deep rock drilling. If they try, the likelyhood is, the entire mountain and all 4 heads collapse and crumble into itself.

            Considering the US violated treaties to destroy land with significant spiritual significance just to capture the Six Grandfathers and turn it into Mount Rushmore, it would absolutely be for the best.
