Actually, my position on these matters is known.
I support the contextualizing of history, not the erasing of it.
MOST people do. Benzo thinks otherwise.
Wrong again.
You're very closed minded-
IM closed minded? I'm not the one celebrating the destruction of someone else's art because a well funded activist group finds it offensive and isnt interested in the nuance and layers of American history, am I? Lmao.
Define "closed minded", Benz. I'm wondering if you think it means "people who disagree with left wing identity politics".
The fact it isnt going to a museum kinda says a lot, yeah?
Actually I tend to agree.
Why are these zealots tearing down history?
So the rest of us can't see or appreciate it?
Leave it alone ffs.
We have the same problem in Canada too of Social Justice Morons tearing down our history.
This is Marxism - social Marxism like it was practised in China and Cambodia.
Yep.
It's a damn disturbing shame that all these well funded leftwing groups are attacking and destroying (and revising) history and claiming to represent the people.
It comes down to.. what are any of us gonna do about it?
I understand there was a lot wrong with the institution of slavery but I'd still want to know about it.
Actually these BLM Antifa types are so outraged by a bunch of statues representing a fallen regime from 150 years ago but they don't criticize Islam for enslaving Black people in Africa. This is going on right now.
The world should condemn this practice as well as the Taliban and ISIS as major human rights violations.
That's the issue though. The Civil War had nothing to do with slavery when it started. It was a state rights war.
And it's not the "north good, south bad" narrative the revisionist history wants it to be.
People in the north are often surprised when they see black southerners with Confederate flags.
It's a war of narratives. And people should be very alarmed that well funded activist groups are trying to control the narratives of history.
It's sad, it's a very sad thing. And its NOT the "people" that are doing it.
I'm sure the activist narrative over in your country is also a revision of actual history. I wish I knew more about it. It's clear the problems in America are global. (As far as western countries at least)
