Philomena Cunk is that you?
Who names their kid "Mt."
It's short for Matt
Witch is actually short for Matteo.
Which SCP number is Rushmore again?
SCP-1941
Monument Mythos:
It's a simple spell but quite unbreakable.
I dunno. This is back when checks and balances were a thing in US governance. Those heads never agreed on anything and it made for a more moderate presidency.
Yo, Angelo! 🗿
It's just stuck me what a crazy idea it is to have a handful of heads carved into a mountain side...
I'm not American, so did some sniffing around looking for why 4 and only those ones and found this: https://www.nps.gov/moru/learn/historyculture/why-these-four-presidents.htm
Wow! That's insane (and really highlights how far my local indigenous people have come, the Maōri people)... What a gross monument
Gerard Baker sounds awesome!
Yeah, its a really gross monument to oppression and genocide. It’s tough though, I don’t know how I’d feel about it’s removal, it would be even more damage to those mountains. Wouldn’t be opposed to some cheeky graffiti on it though.
What?
Try reading the native hope website linked above - it's a totally different perspective
Mt. Rushmore has literally NOTHING to do with the Maori
It was meant as a comparison between two countries approach to their treatment of indigenous peoples, silly.
One attempts to pay lip service (NZ), while the other (US) still heavily white washes things
As an American, nobody would question Washington, Jefferson, or Lincoln's presence, but Teddy Roosevelt would be the odd man out. He did a lot of great things for the country as well, but he's decidedly less famous than the others.
Final Fantasy has entered the chat.
Could Mt. Rushmore be built by extraterrestrials? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and point to an obscure rock located in the Highlands of Scotland.
You better make it before the History channel creates a full series.
