Reminds me of what Isis does to historical monuments.

I'm reminded of ISIS when a man drives a car into a crowd. Funny how associations work.
-
I am too... for reasonable people, without political motives and extreme causes, associations are very logical.
-
I remember the wall in Berlin.
-
Interesting...
-
More interesting, you don't see any Hitler or nazi soldiers statue anywhere in Germany.
-
Don't know... haven't been. I do know Nazis/Neo-Nazis tried to erase the holocaust, didn't work. Have you been in many German museums?
-
I've been there. They build monuments to the victims of past crimes, not the bigoted fucks who committed them. USA could learn a thing or 2.

So this is the new America where history is being eradicated by violent mob rule? So much for tolerance and peaceful coexistence!
-
It's actual the US of A and not America. America would include Canada, Central and South America. This country was founded on this logic.

We still have books if you wanna read about it
should have been moved to a museum. The racists who lost a war (throw in your nazi gear) -
These monuments shld never hv been up in first place. They weren't patriots. They weren't fighting for their country!
-
Depends on which side of the argument you're on!
-
Well if you knew your history you would know the time line these statues went and why.

Hey Nils this was scrap metal. Not a real person. 3 real people died over the weekend. Talk to them about it. History is still in the books.

So now we're like 1914 Russia - tearing down monuments to erase histories of our political opponents. Can't imagine how that could go wrong

There's plenty of Confederate stuff in museums, where it belongs. Statues are for people we are to admire. Why admire treason?
-
That's a monument to the common soldier built by veterans after the war. They deserve their marker. Obey the laws - Durham was anarchy
-
Would you be ok with Munich putting up statues to the SS? Nanking putting up statues of Japanese soldiers? Context matters.
-
They have markers, statues, weapons, uniforms, letters, and more in museums - where it belongs. May I remind you these people were traitors?
-
Please head to England and find me statues of American Revolution heroes on their streets. I'll save you the money, you won't.

Is it OK to destroy statues of saints b/c they opposed same sex marriage?
-
Not even remotely the same argument. But if a saint wanted to enslave black people and formed a treasonous gov't in support- YES fuck him
