interesting, in the US neo-nazis going to police stations is just called commuting

I thought it was called going to work

Don’t give the police any ideas…

That's what he means

Woosh

think of all the fasc bullshit you could wipe out with one incediary device

Can we get a rule about not posting current news?

Same difference

So they explicitly chose to legitimise said pilgrimages.

The only acceptable use is as a gender neutral public toilet block.

Shame it's in the middle of a neighborhood. If it was a farmhouse out in the country, I would have suggested turning it into a sewage lagoon.

I suggest a multiplex consisting of a synagogue, a disability benefits office, and a transgender healthcare clinic.

A bulldozer is another great option.

"Neo Nazis used to make pilgrimages to Hitler's birthplace. Now they work there!"

In the US commuting is what we call the daily travel to/from work.

It's a perfectly good building. Why destroy a home because an evil person lived there?

Wasn't Hitler a cop?

As long as there's a public all gender bathroom and it always smells faintly of piss.

I’m like, open pit latrine across from a Taco Bell.

You’ve found public bathrooms that don’t smell faintly of piss?

More like the cops made their pilgrimage site their base.

They'd just be at work in America.

The fuck? I would have bulldozed it a long time ago and built a waste processing plant.

He was a lot of things, but never a cop..

Wow, defending Hitler.

If I lived in a suburb and nazis were always coming to visit whatever thing I would want to dismantle that thing to stop the nazis coming.

Sounds good offhand, then you think about putting those people in a place where they're gonna get regular visits from neonazis...

Agreed, TIL is becoming current events.

should have sold it to a jewish group to build a synagogue.

Bulldozing a perfectly good house build hundreds of years ago in the middle of a city might be the dumbest idea you could have.

He was a really mediocre artist... Then he went down hill fast.

But what if it's a cursed house, and produces a dictator every 150 years or some shit? /s

Well he was also a runner for a while.

That would have inspired hate crimes.

Plus, Nazis would still make the pilgrimage to an empty lot.

I mean, it was housing disabled people before. That's just as good

She*

De-Nazification is such a fucking lie.

The surviving leadership of the Nazi Party was grafted directly onto NATO and to the extended network of fascist US/UK business interests that continued to dominate the West at the end of the war.

Can't believe they ruined a perfectly good piece of statuary like that. What a waste! People in the 1940s were such morons.

They would still come and leave memorials. Making it a police station is daring them to still do it and see how quickly they get arrested.

Waste processing plants and police stations yield the same respect from me in most contexts. Honestly, I think was reprocessing plants have the edge overall.

Hitler took the idea of manifest destiny from the Americans murdering the native population (great job Pete protecting their medals cause that’s all you have on your fucking calendar today), used it on Europe, then we Paperclipped their nerds to build better rockets…it’s been racist and fascist in the air for a long time now but it most certainly was not just ze Germans

Pretty much all of American history taught in schools is either a lie or heavily edited

It was being used as a care home.

They're doing that first. And secretly disposing of the rubble.

Hmm, fair. If this rule had existed I wouldn't have posted. Granted, I learned about it through word of mouth (in Austria right now), so I found the news article after. Didn't actually realize it was super-fresh news.

Yes and no. Living in a care hone with Nazis showing up at your door can't be all that relaxing. As long as they pay to relocate that, it's a better idea IMO.

No. You didn't invent everything, America.

Taint

Did they just turn it into a police station???

There weren't many Jewish people there after the war. And there was a lot of ambivalence about their fate immediately after the war, with a focus on rebuilding. And a concern that a genocide against them could happen again if they returned.

Wow, someone just earned the title of the world's most brutal art critic.
