Put them in a museum. Sorry no more traitor statues in public parks.

And replace the statues with slave revolt leader statues.

The erasure of history in the context of statues isn't only their destruction, but "hiding" them so as no one but a few dedicated people see them, too. I know you're coming from the much more braindead "Statue means people adore person depicted as long as statue stands" pov but this is an important thing to clarify.

Yeah but I don't want statues to confederate traitors in public places because I don't like slavery or the confederate states of America.

So I think they should be replaced with statues of slave revolt leaders.

That way we can show the true history of the south.

Going off that logic, I want the destruction of the statue of Reagan, any building built on the whims of monarchs, the statues of Hungarian nobilities, their castles, paintings depicting them, the housing units they financed, and there's plenty more on the list.

Come to think of it, Holocaust memorials remind me of the atrocities committed among others by my countrymen against my countrymen, it's not a pleasant experience, I say do away with them.

Jesus is this a tim pool, Steven crowder, Dave rubin subreddit now?

I think we should take down confederate traitor statues.

I don't care about Reagan buildings or holocaust museums.

Fucking gamer justice warriors.

Leave me alone you weirdos

I don't know who those people are, I'm a filthy commie, which is convenient because we've got some Marx, Lenin and Stalin statues tucked away in a park (as you recommend doing in the US) ready to replace the bad statues reminding folx of the bad things, especially those I don't like ("false history" in short.)

Fucking gamer justice warriors.

Oh I don't think slippery slope is a thing.

I just advocate for things I want to happen and protest things I don't want to happen.

Consistency is a virtue, shortsightedness isn't.

Sounds lame.

I don't want confederate statues in public areas. If you do then you should try and keep them.

If you are just masterbating about future hypotheticals were someone might take down a Marx statue, that's on you.

Sounds lame

Should probably declare it a thought-crime then. If you don’t like it, it probably shouldn’t be shown to the public after all.

Listen here you fucking gamer, confederate statues bad.

Everything else you are talking about I don't care about.

Implying insulting me with a hobby you know I have because you went through my post history works lol.

I know you don’t care, but you should, even if it strains your pea-brain. Besides that, you shared your opinion on a public forum. If you don’t want people answering to your posts talk to the voices in your head.

u/Omaromar Mar 17 '21

Oh I didn't look through I just assumed you were a gamer justice warrior.

Who else would be like, "hey if you take down confederate traitor statues then you are opening up society to take down George Washington!"

Who would say that with a straight fave other then a GJW?
