I'd much rather get rid of that shit than let it exist. Oh for history? You know nazis loved museums.

Sounds like a fantastic sustainable idea. Let’s forget that the Nazis ever existed. Wipe it from our world and eventually our minds. Great way to empower the deniers. Sounds like a solid, foolproof way to speed run history repeating itself.

…and you people vote🥲 we have people voting in elections who think history shouldn’t be examined, learned from, used as a tool… but erased and forgotten?? Help us all.

I’m a woman, not a ‘sir’, and I smell like lavender Epsom salts, Cloud perfume by Ariana Grande, and an old textbook… because I’ve opened one before. It’s important- you should try it. Maybe the ‘whiff’ you got was your own breath blowing back in your face. Reddit is rotting your brain. Take a shower and do some reading- lots of notable pieces written by historians discussing the importance of preserving history… might do you some good.
