Anything religious, including historical objects - gone.
Anything civil war? Now going or gone
What's the next cause to get wiped from history?

There are these things called books. You can even read some of them for free at your local library.

Explain to me how putting statues in a museum where they can be viewed by people who want to view them is scrubbing history. This line of argument is pretty weak sauce bro.

Sell the statues to the Nazis and KKK. They can put them out in the woods if they want.

Plantation homes. Southern Forts must be bull dozed.

They promised to stop at statues of confederate soldiers on public property. You don't believe them?
Weird. Me either.

The better question is what has already been scrubbed from our collective knowledge

How the world loved the swastika - until Hitler stole it
quote:
In the Western world the swastika is synonymous with fascism, but it goes back thousands of years and has been used as a symbol of good fortune in almost every culture in the world. As more evidence emerges of its long pre-Nazi history in Europe, can this ancient sign ever shake off its evil associations?
In the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, swastika means "well-being". The symbol has been used by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains for millennia and is commonly assumed to be an Indian sign.
Early Western travellers to Asia were inspired by its positive and ancient associations and started using it back home. By the beginning of the 20th Century there was a huge fad for the swastika as a benign good luck symbol.
quote:
If you want to see just how deeply rooted the swastika pattern is in Europe, a good place to start is Kiev where the National Museum of the History of Ukraine has an impressive range of exhibits.
Mammoth tusk bird figurineImage copyrightMUKTI JANE CAMPION
Among the museum's most highly prized treasures is a small ivory figurine of a female bird. Made from the tusk of a mammoth, it was found in 1908 at the Palaeolithic settlement of Mezin near the Russian border.
On the torso of the bird is engraved an intricate meander pattern of joined up swastikas. It's the oldest identified swastika pattern in the world and has been radio carbon-dated to an astonishing 15,000 years ago. The bird was found with a number of phallic objects which supports the idea that the swastika pattern was used as a fertility symbol.

The Church of St. George (Amharic: Bete Giyorgis?) is one of eleven rock-hewn monolithic churches in Lalibela, a city in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Originally named Roha (Warwar), the historical and religious site was named Lalibela after the King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty, who commissioned its construction. He is regarded as a saint by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
quote:
The church was carved from a type of volcanic tuff. This is the sole architectural material that was used in the structure. It has been dated to the late 12th or early 13th century AD, and thought to have been constructed during the reign of King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela, of the late Zagwe dynasty

we should put uo a statue of based stick man in place of one of the confederate monuments

I honestly believe that the desecration of the graves of Confederate soldiers will be next once the current purge is complete.

Statist can't draw a line on what needs to come down. Give me a list and I'll consider until then frick off.
