Pulling down the self erected statue of a brutal dictator isn't the same as tearing down or defacing every historical statue regardless of who or what they are, as long as it's a white guy. It's not some noble symbolism of freedom it's destruction of history and the warning is because it's straight out of the Communist revolutionary handbook and there's a very recent example of it and where it leads.David wrote:Lol no-one had a problem with statues of Saddam Hussein being toppled in Iraq or Lenin and Stalin in the Eastern Bloc after the fall of the USSR. So is the removal of statues is a universal harbinger of social collapse, or is it possible that ... these things are wholly dependent on cultural context?
I'll give her one thing (and this holds true for the examples I mentioned above, too): statues coming down everywhere often is a sign of radical cultural change. Sometimes it's good; sometimes it's bad. But for US BLM protesters, radical cultural change is obviously the point of what they're doing, and many of us wish them nothing but the best in achieving that.
Getting pretty sick of the 'racist' snipes as well
