I would do Brandenburg Gate or the Arch of Titus. If you want to kill a disease start at the source.
Pentagon
9/11 would have been way differ if they had flown like, there planes into the Pentagon
Some people made a shitty replica in front of the São Paulo stock exchange building
It was vandalized for 3-4 days in a row until the city council declared it was illegal advertising, fined the exchange and forced them to remove it hahahaha
On the bright side, two cool things came out of this: an NGO made a barbecue to feed homeless people, and another artist put up her own version of the statue
It's a well known fact that the trimmings from Mount Rushmore were never cleared, and were instead just left at the base of the mountain, where they all lay to this very day. Therefore, I propose an elegant, simple solution
:centrist: chip away just enough of their faces so that it resembles natural formations
:sicko-beaming: then replace them with Native American heroes
Instead of demolishing, can we give the obelisk in Central Park back to Egypt?
As long as it stands in NYC, it's a monument to imperialism.
But if you can only do one, wouldn't something more meaningful be chosen?
The way the American cultural project has turned this 3500 year old cultural artifact into a formless pitted stone 99% of locals are unaware of in just a century is plenty meaningful.
Didn't the UK steal a lot more Egyptian artifacts than the US, hell weren't the French the ones to start it?
I'd go to the Yasukuni Shrine and take a chisel and remove the names of any fascists with deep, obvious looking scars.
I would just destroy the whole shrine. Turn it into a cargo container lot (because parking lots suck)
The Fash probably wouldn't mind much in the long run, considering how much questionable anime and manga there is.
Turn it to a memorial to the victims of Japanese Militarism since 1870 and/or an office of the communist trade union/newspaper/whatever
Why? Turning a monument that honors war criminals into a monument representing the generations of youth sacrificed for some capitalists and nobles is more useful than a cargo container lot.
A cargo container lot serves an industrial function, transport of treats and such. germany purposefully builds boring buildings on several nazi pilgrimage sites for this very reason.
The building used to be part of the Reichsparteitagsgelände, as a power substation iirc?
Can't believe none of y'all have said Stone Mountain in Georgia. It's a badass gigantic solid rock the size of a mountain that was defaced by Klansmen in the 1900s with a shit carving of the Confederate high command. Gonna smooth that shit back out so we can all just enjoy the cool giant rock.

Holy fuck, what a monstrosity :yea:
Also:
She chose the sculptor Gutzon Borglum for the project and invited him to visit the mountain (although, despite his Ku Klux Klan involvement, she "would not shake his hand—he was, after all, a Yankee") [...] Borglum's next major project was Mount Rushmore
... because of course it was.
