Well I’m glad to hear the trip was worthwhile. As everyone stated already I do see the irritation with setting the mood with giant concrete walls, the names should have been memorialized in a better way. I’m sure in a few years this will become the white people mecca where you make a pilgrimage to see peak white culture and how bad whitey is etc. so I’m sure if I ever visit Europe I will end up checking it out.

Also to make the usual Jew joke you probably witnessed a hook up of a future Jewish couple there just like Ethan and Hila Kline.

Thanks for @ ing us @TheCuntler this has been a fun read and great review.

Yeah, who knows. Although, I still don't get how you'd chat up a nice lady at a Holocaust memorial. "Hey, do you come here often? By the way, my name is Cuntler and I'd like to show you what is under my Kippa."

I'm not much of a tour guide; I just like poking around. I want the people who are autists for that historical site to be on hand to tell me about it, but I'll settle for a self-guided walking tour on a folded pamphlet with a 15-year-old copyright date. No "interpreting," just "at this marker you can really see the fire damage from XX date."

Alas, I'm in the West, where the historical sites are much fewer, and rarely buildings. Some good massacre sites, but it's hard to get the spirit when it's indistinguishable from any other field or clearing.

The National Park Service recreated Ben Franklin's printing office, in Philadelphia. They staff it with rangers who are always either printing or typesetting for the next print job. Null would probably appreciate that.

I recommend Chaco culture in New Mexico for what you are describing. Chacoan capital between the mid-9th to early 13th centuries. A high desert canyon with a series of walled villages, cities with building reaching two or three stories spread out with a drive between different sites. Pick up a guide at NPS visitor center and then explore freely. Hard to reach during the rain season because of muddy dirt roads needed to reach the entrance. A less crowded Mesa Verde NP without the cliff dwelling, unless you go into backroads to find them.
Or you can visit the intact and still lived 1000-two year old Pueblos of Taos and Acoma Sky City with a native guide who is autist for the place

I think the best-least adapted site I've been to is a volcanic rock formation, a frozen lava river taller than your head, that was used by Indians during a long standoff with the US Cavalry that turned into an actual siege. The Parks Dept has made a gravel path and put in numbered guideposts so you can read from the pamphlet or at least not get lost, and there's a parking lot, but that's it. Walking through, it's exactly as the Indians would have been hunkering down there, and the natural impulse of a human when surrounded by lava formations that would make a cool fort is to think about what a cool fort it is. When you look at a frozen lava bubble and think "I would live in that," and the pamphlet says "the chief had his council here; look at this corner to see where they built up a fire area," it's just nice.

Where is this? That sounds awesome

If you’re ever at the end of the world, may I recommend skara brae to you? It’s just like that - they had stone shelves and stone dressers and you can just imagine a family cosying up and the mum yelling at the kids to not knock her favourite decorative skull or rock off the dresser or else. It’s so increasingly domestic, and it’s thousands and thousands of years old. One of my favourite sites

It's not illegal. Noone's going to throw you in the clink for it.

But if you do it and your waterheaded fanbase then go mass death threat the parents of murdered children, you might get sued, but still not arrested.

It didn't get shut down, it got revamped when The Onion purchased it.

But if anyone really misses that fat fuck fraud Jones, he'll be doing another show under another name.

Not everything that's illegal means you go to jail either, afaik. most of the "hate speech" stuff in yurop is also just fines.

The fines tend to be less astronomical and not exempted from bankruptcy, nor do they usually lead to your business being taken from you.

Jones is a dork, but what happened to him was absolutely disgusting.

It's never speech you agree with that needs protection.
 
i went to dachau once and everyone in my group got super overly emotional when they walked through the showers. i didn't feel anything because i'm like 99% certain nobody actually got gassed there. all the camps are specifically designed to make you feel like a horrible person and this is somehow your fault even though it happened eighty years ago.
the cafeteria at dachau was good too, it had good ice cream. that's the part i remember the most.

Lol, yeah, it actually was. You can see the Birkenau entrance building from it if I'm not mistaken.

That still means the law is coming after you, not a civil suit. Jones got brought down by a civil suit.

If he was just a dork, I'd agree, but he's not, he's a fraud.

When speech gets people death threated about their murdered kids, I'm happy to draw a line there.

As a bonus, you can visit Skaill House with the same ticket and check out how rich people including the guy who discovered Skara Brae lived (exit through the gift shop).

Oh and here's Skara Brae

Not a great picture I must admit, but you get the idea.
