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

    More like the cops made their pilgrimage site their base.

    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.

    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

    No. You didn't invent everything, America.

    Yeah we definitely did not.

    However, I'm not sure why you're posting this here because Hitler was absolutely heavily inspired by both the genocide of the native peoples, as well as post slavery laws like Jim Crow.

    https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/lebensraum

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensraum

    The ideologies found at the root of Hitler's implementation of Lebensraum modeled that of German colonialism of the New Imperialism period as well as the American ideology of manifest destiny. Hitler had great admiration for the United States' territorial expansion and saw the destruction of Native American peoples and their cultures that took place during the United States' westward expansion as a template for German expansion.

    converting hitler's birthplace to a police station?

    something something some of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

    A bulldozer is another great option.

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

    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.

    I get that some people feel that way but I sort of see it the same way as I see a murder house. The fact that someone was murdered in a house does not affect the material condition of the building. Ultimately Austria can do as they wish with it. It just seems wasteful to me to destroy it. I'd rather see it made into an LGBT museum or something else Hitler would have hated that will benefit the community while pissing off nazis.

    They'd just be at work in America.

    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.

    Why didnt they bulldoze it instead?

    The empty lot would likely still become a place of pilgrimage for these chucklefucks.

    then we could bulldoze the chucklefucks. we could be sneaky like that

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

    So they explicitly chose to legitimise said pilgrimages.

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

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