"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

I am really opposed to this removal. We have some good history and bad. Removing all the monuments to the bad essentially is rewriting history. Our cultural narrative is dependent on learning from our mistakes. By doing this we're creating a history that is Disneyesque. It's not real. History isn't a fight between good and evil. It's people living in the social framework of their time. Our modern morality shouldn't play a role in what happened then. At least in so far as the monuments of that history. This isn't having a battle flag as a state symbol. This is having a place that we learn from our mistakes
No, it's a statue, the sort of thing that's almost always erected in celebration of something

It's not a memorial, it's not a museum, it's a statue celebrating literal traitors and slaveowners.

You can go to holocaust museums in Germany, but I don't know about any statues of Hitler decorating the streets.

If you think it should be collected and put in a museum where a government can control the context in which it's shown, then that's your downfall.

Funny, since that's already been the case...since it's government-owned public property and they're choosing to change the context by removing the thing.

This is no different, and should be put in a different context. One that's preferably not on a pedestal.

But muh heritage

The aggressive North was at fault for it all. It was about states rights.

What else...

uh...

lynch niggers! Or something.

I've yet to see anyone propose a valid reason as to why these statues remain where they currently are. Even the staunch supporter's reasoning comes down to "Pride!"

Funny because if you look at my later posts you will see that I never pulled the muh heritage statement. I actually believe that they should stay because people need to have their face rubbed in it. A reminder that we came from assholes and we better be on guard to make sure it doesn't happen again. Statues like that should inspire shame, not pride.

I was referring to people in general in regards to the southern heritage thing, not you. I actually wasn't thinking of you at all when posting that.

I'm not THAT passive aggressive.

Also, statues are like the antithesis of face rubbing and shame.
