Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why?

They made some tokenisation effort to look like they gave a shit, why should that be rewarded?

“Oh we understand you’re still suffering and that we are partially responsible but we went inside that nice air conditioned building and had a guided tour for us after they closed the place down to every other visitor just for us. So like it’s really mean that you’re still angry at us right now”

Man, if your poinit of view is that you want to discourage high-profile people from visiting these museums because their blood is impure or whatever, I don't know what to tell you, other than that all that'll result in is less exposure to these places and these sins.

My point is them visiting a museum means jack fucking shit.

[–] greenmarty 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is not, it keeps the knowledge of the past happenings alive in general population. It doesn't matter if it's part of the court responsibles or marketing or whatever you call it. Media and people will talk about the visit, people will learn there is museum and why. Just like we are now chatting about it.

Thus change that history won't repeat itself get higher.

I guess this is where we're supposed to agree that the status quo is working. Is that the angle?

As long as we don't take NEW advantage of the situation, the current advantage is fine?

Nothing they do will ever mean anything, because nothing can redeem the past.

[–] APassenger -4 points 1 year ago

Adamantly agree. It's token bullshit unless they do something real as a result.

Will wait for that headline.and anger need not always be productive. Sometimes most to all avenues for productive discourse are shut down.

But anger remains a legitimate and reasonable response.

So... I agree with basically everything you're saying here and I believe you've stated it clearly and well.

I think OP's point was not disregard idea that humans should reflect upon mistakes of the past. There was no reward for that unless you meant protesters being rewarded by verbally hurting someone who actually pays respect to the cause.
