VALIDITY: Nation allows public protest.
OPTION ONE: "I have to say, this is a travesty," mutters your Undersecretary for Righteousness and Goodness, @@RANDOMNAME@@. "The Smalltopian Genocide is one of the most tragic events the world has ever faced, and it is disgraceful for any institution, let alone a museum, to showcase the tools of destruction used to perpetrate it. The public is right on this one, @@LEADER@@, this exhibit should not exist, and it must be taken down at once!"
EFFECT ONE: the museum is no place for sad things
OPTION TWO: "While I agree about the problem, I cannot agree with abandoning these artifacts altogether," says your Minister of Moderate Solutions, pantomiming tossing an artifact over their shoulder. "What the public really wants are statements of disapproval. Let's institute strong condemnations, wishes for such a tragic event to never happen again, trigger warnings, the whole shebang! That way we can preserve history while still maintaining our morals!"
EFFECT TWO: museums helpfully tell their patrons how to feel
OPTION THREE: "I'm sorry, has everyone else gone insane?" clamors ever-frustrated national historian @@RANDOMNAME@@. "It may not be pretty, but it's a part of history! If we stop people from seeing the horrors of the past, they are doomed to repeat them. I mean, what are people even talking about? Everyone is clearly too sheltered about the world, which shows the need for museums! You ought to fund more exhibits highlighting the horrors of the world, lest we follow in their footsteps."
EFFECT THREE: live munitions are prominently displayed in @@CAPITAL@@ museum
OPTION FOUR: "I, for one, don't see what has everyone's knickers in a bunch," says a well-dressed man you've never seen before, with a mildly unsettling smile. "The former regime in Smalltopia was one of glory, back when the righteous were in power and made others bend to their will. Much better than what we see these days, those protesters are a bunch of sniveling whiners. If you ask me, @@NAME@@ could take a page from old Smalltopia's book, and we could put those 'artifacts' to use instead of leave them sitting around!"
EFFECT FOUR: playing the devil's advocate is a legitimate academic perspective
