    Nothing quite like building a monument that actually helps people if/when apocalypse comes and society collapses, only for people to get super pissed off about it and bomb it.

    This is one reason why humans should go extinct if there is ever an apocalypse. We should just all succumb to the end of times because we clearly don’t deserve society if we’re destroying things that actively help when society collapses.

    Edit:

    After hearing some of the things that may or may not have been on the monument, I’ll have to do more research into it to make a better judgement on whether destroying it was good or not.

      Well the monument advocated for eugenics and was funded by some rich nut job so I’m kinda OK without it

      I disagree with your assessment. The Guidestones weren’t there to help society rebuild after an apocalypse. It was built to scare you into thinking an unavoidable, likely human caused, cataclysm was coming. The builders clearly infused “bad human” into it’s message when they say to keep the population under 500 Million. It’s all part of the narrative to keep people chasing the cheese at all expenses. This creates ample opportunities for someone else to get rich off your fear. It’s similar to the gold rush. Who got rich in the gold rush? The merchants.
