The Trump White House can't be trusted to tell American Present.

Someone take this guys phone, mic, pen & paper, whatever it is that let's him blurt this shit out as if it makes sense...

Oh wait, is it because the Smithsonian doesn't have the Epstein files on display?? That would be a great start to revealing some history.

The Trump White House can suck a bag of soggy dicks and die in prolonged agony.

No different to Israel who are no different to Nazi Germany

While I agree that the world is going to shit.

Saying Israel is no different to Nazi Germany is downplaying the atrocities the Nazis did.

Just give it a few more years

Israel has just been more patient. They've been playing the long game to normalize their evils. Now they have to move fast because the younger generations have access to what the middle east looks like that isn't being filtered through main stream media.

It's exactly the same shit with different proper nouns.

They have an entire museum dedicated to American neoclassical fascist myth-making and another one dedicated to shit we stole from Asia/the middle east, the most popular work being made by a British guy (in all fairness, the history of the peacock room is incredible).

Is he complaining that the museums contextualize some of the works?

To be clear, I like what the Smithsonian does, and they need to do more of it to show people the historical societal purpose of those works in the museum. And maybe start making replicas and giving back the originals of shit we stole.

Yeah they live in a country they stole, owning stuff they stole, and they're now angry that sometimes they admit it's stolen and they just don't give a fuck. But the pedo president is still angry that they admit it.

Wanna guess what race the leader of the Smithsonian is?

Scientists of all colors have been attacked by the trump administration

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

intellectuals(PHDs) are the first target of fascist leaders. thats why they flee the country first before lgbtq+, race is targeted.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Chancellor John Roberts

and Director Lonnie Bunch

Really though, anyone who puts facts and history above swearing fealty to Trump will be marked as an enemy of the state.

I’m sure History as written by white nationalist pedophiles and pro Israel traitors will be fair and balanced

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

he wants it to tell a Nazi version, thats what he means.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The Smithsonian is going to be the time masheen from idiocracy when this clown show is over
