Just as the tin says, what if Statue of Justice was built instead of OTL's statue?
A better question is, why would Bartholdi want to build a statue of justice, and who in the USA and in France would pay for it ?
Also, this picture I posted was just an example, she could look differently.
After looking at a picture of her, I wonder what I'm missing, that you say this... unless you mean a different statue, or a reference I'm missing.Yeah, she could look like the statue of Justice from the Tower of Dublin. That'd go over well.![]()
...especially with that sword.This could have massive repercussions for Ghostbusters II.
The Statue of Liberty is certainly reflective of a certain ethos which "Justice" doesn't quite do as well. No "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free..." sort of stuff. Not really as inviting to potential immigrants.I doubt this would change anything...
"give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free..."
"Give me your gullible, your rich, your landed gentry asking to be sued."
Might actually be more meaningful, these days.

Seriously, you really think justice is a left-wing thing to beat the rich?
Ha ha, can we get the Niitsitapi's opinion on that?Seriously, you really think justice is a left-wing thing to beat the rich?
How about "Give me your oppressed, your downtrodden, your imprisoned masses unfairly detained"?
Well, in a lot of ways, they'd be right.I think he means that one of the major groups of immigrants coming across the Atlantic were Catholic Irish wanting to escape the rule of the Union, and Dublin Castle with its statue would be seen as a symbol of that Union's establishment, so they would look out on New York and have the sense that "nothing has changed, America is just as bad".
