If you’re cheering for the bridge collapse because “it’s a highway” I mean this as meanly as possible. Go outside, get a hobby, go away. Stop caring about urbanism. It’s rotted your brain so much that you’ve lost collective consciousness and empathy. What is wrong with you.

All of this entirely ruined by confederate sympathizers. First conceived in 1869, and completed in *1971* after heavy lobbying from the UDC, this “monument” is a disgrace to the union. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum was an open Klan member. 4 traitor flags are flown on the terrace.

There was a REPLICA PLANTATION until 1963. The KKK was reborn atop Stone Mountain in 1915. It is the sacred site of the Klan, which last held an illegal rally there in 2017. All of this is due to the decision to allow confederates to build their fucking “memorial”
