You are not getting it at all. Its not about the Confederate statues. Its the precedent of letting the left take down statues. The left reasoning for wanting the statues down is POCs feelings are hurt, muh slavery, muh oppression, etc. All these things can also be said of the US founders, US itself and WW2 murals. And what are they doing now? Exactly what I said they would do. Now that they have their victory over the Confederate statues, its time to move on and take down the founders and WW2 murals.
Your point is proven false by the objective reality of what's happening. Seriously what your saying shouldn't matter is exactly what's happening. You and bacles issue is that you are giving the left the benefit of the doubt. While believing it's actually about the lost cause mythos. Thing is though it's not and they are currently as I type this proving that. Tell me what's WW2 got to do with the lost cause? How about Frederick Douglass, an elk etc etc. Sorry your flaty wrong "remove Confederate" has always been about destroying history. Not about "redressing" grievances that's the reality.
Anger has jack all to do with well anything. Part of communism is removing a given people's actual history. That they can and should take pride in then replacing if with guilt and envy. Depending on whether your "bourgeoisie" or "proletariat". (White and black with neo-commy). The so called anger is just a cover.
I will give my two bit's and say objectively you aren't wrong, but it isn't the fact that most people like, love or even care about the Confederacy these days that they defend these statues, it's the reasoning behind the philosophy of those who want their removal.
Sure but that doesn't stop the damage they already did. Plus I think they've got alot more juice then you think. If (yes if not when) they burn out it'll have been 20+ years minimum. Sitting back and letting them hang themselves is a serious mistake.
SB wasn't founded on free speech. TS was
Fights not over till it's over there's 0 reason to stop swinging. Because even assuming your right they will absolutely be back. They always are even Rome was plagued with left wing ideas. Better to hurt the guy as much as possible. Then bust his head wife open when he's down. That way when they come back and they will. They're easier to beat into a bloody pulp.
Being founded on and remaining supportive of are two different things. Things can change, just look at the first amendment today. We have 'freedom of speech' just not on 'private' platforms. Build your own and it gets popular? Well time to build your own payment processor,etc
I mean I am pretty sure we have a good 20 years before anything bad starts happening, as the Owner will most likely prevent that
Agreed
I reread my comment and realized that it probably came across the wrong way. That was unintentional on my part, sorry about that.
While i would like to think they would reveal themselves early on. Relying on an enemies stupidity never sat well with me. These people are smart,patient and utterly fanatic. The culture here is relatively sane and hostile to far leftism thankfully, though i would feel better with more concrete plans and rules guaranteeing various freedoms and moderator 'security'. Agreed on the need for a thread though i don't know what it could be called?
It took a handful of years for google to go nuts, i wish i had that confidence bro.
