Just popped in my head after…geez, probably a good thirty years or so. Feel like I slacked off on my Alamo remembrin’.
We visited San Antonio last year and my wife was excited to visit the Alamo while I had to deal with work stuff.
I asked how it was, and she recommends forgetting it.
It’s remarkably boring and any gravitas it would have is undermined by the mall on the river walk right next to it. The whole place is an underwhelming tourist trap.
A Texan coworker of mine got his Norwegian citizenship last month, after first moving here well over a decade ago. First thing I did was to DM him “You forgot about the Alamo, didn’t you? 😢”
Not texan but i remeber. The slave holding traitors that didnt want to give up their slaves and fought 2 treason wars to keep their “property”
Nah, I ain’t celebrating jerks who fought to preserve slavery.
Slave owners sure were an uppity bunch weren’t they?
Texans have few things to be proud of, which is why they care so much about dumb shit like the alamo and buc-ees.
Only when we watch Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, which is remembered more.
Yes, 09/11, the day the Alamo towers fell, killing 6 million Jews. Never forget! Never again!
The King of England narrowly escaped from what I remember…
No, today is November the 5th, the Alamo takes a break today.
The absolute obsession with genocide and colonialism completely repelled me from Texas and I will never go back. I hated Texas more than any other trip I’ve ever been on in my life, with the exception of New York city.
I used to live down the street from it so I remember it from time to time. Unless you’re Texan, formally Texan, or you’re currently in Texas I don’t see why someone would care.
No. What happened?
This is my gringo summary:
Antonio López de Santa Anna became president 11 times and illegal white settlers didn’t want to give up their slaves or their protestantism.
Someone stole a bike and hid it in the basement.
What are they, German?
