Cons confuse politeness with weakness. Same shit with police violence, now they're willing to "discuss the issue" after millions in damage.
The boys don't really grasp what fascism really was and is. An alliance of the state's military/police with its industrial oligarchy and of course an authoritarian leader. Antifascism is just a method of making being a recruit to this system unpleasant. It is effective as most authoritarian boot boys are uncomfortable when personally challenged, they choose not to join a neo Nazi group. Its not perfect but it works (or worked before social media) fairly well. The Blues Brothers pushing the Illinois Nazis off the bridge is classic antifa. Humiliation keeps their spirits low. Rest assured once they pass a threshold, the fascists have everyone by the balls. This illustrates the fascism triad fairly well.
I'm just waiting for one of the idiots to say it is a conspiracy sculpture makers to profit from replacing statues with new comissioned works. A few own goals of course.. The right's leaders left their retarded gimps off the leash a couple of decades back and fiddled as the cultural debasement started. Now the left's brains have just said fuck it and the odd Grant statue takes a tumble.
You wanted statues to come down. They are coming down. As I said, there will be no differentiation between white historical figures. If its a statue of a white guy its coming down. You can keep up the pretense but its clear what is actually happening and its hilarious. See what you have wrought? Do you really think you have control of it? I predict the entire Mall will be closed to the public and the Natural History Museum, the Smithsonian and the other cultural institutions surrounding the Mall closed to the public as well. The Metro station at the base of the Mall will be closed.
Dramatic much? Such a little girl (bad phrase there are little girls a lot tougher than you). My point was who started with letting the actually stupid off the leash? Who let the fundamentalists and the conspiratards run amok? The smarter republicans thats who, they 'weaponized' ignorance. Hows that working for you now the left have thrown their hands up? But a Grant statue here or there is not the end of the world. The sky is not actually falling. The respected left are not all in just a handful of media outlets. It takes more time for their slow down there to be heard.
How is the Cultural Purge working out for you so far? You can see what is happening. Historic figures lacking certain melanocyte content are to be purged. You have no control over it. You are a lame spectator sniping from outside the country. Eventually they will run out of statues and plaques. Other cultural symbols will then become the focus.
The sky is not falling. There there. Did you know that most of the plaques were put up as part of a make work program for poets, artists and other intellectuals during the depression? Most do I guess. My mom's family have quite a few to their name(s) in both South and North. I'm sure most will stay up. Learning the lesson about your weaponised stupid too late. Won't be that bad.
Yep, a lot of stuff was erected during the depression. I know about the WPA but I think the art and cultural stuff was a separate program. It won't matter who built it or erected it. The criteria for removal is very simple and chromatic. Your little personal insults amount to yammering. At this point you are a yapping terrier.
