Spoiler: also out of context (click to show/hide)

"Hey guys we've got a lot of Americans living in Hiroshima now and they don't feel the 'nuke' thing represents their culture and is a bit rude to keep around so we're gonna take down the memorial"

Also, this discussion is in spoilers please.

I think the confusion stems from me using "documentation" as in, like, something documenting history. Can be stonework monuments like the Ramses statues or Petra, or could be an artifact or something. Not paper. That was fuckin' weird, I was wondering "why the fuck is he going all ape over paper? i never even said paper." Just so happens that a lot of historical documentation today *is* paper. But some aren't! To wit: Documentaries.

My argument boils down to "A monument, IN AN OF ITSELF fuck you pyramids you miserable pile of shitty stone, has no historical weight to it, any more than a tasteful vase does. The surroundings of that monument are what make it important (like if it were a Ming vase)."

I could also make the argument that the consideration of the population that monument resides in outweighs the historical weight of it to an extent, but you could argue against that with "BUT ISIS," (though I wouldn't agree, since ISIS aren't exactly the population of the area). And the fact that it's also historically relevant that people feel strongly enough about tearing it down to take it into their own hands after years of governmental deadlock. But those are side-arguments and aren't my main point at all.

But...he didn't shoot himself? It says there wasn't any blood.

What, did he make a blood clot in his dick and die of a heart attack before he could shoot himself?

All hail provenance and the all powerful data! Long live context dependent interpretation and meaning!
