Idea I've had for what to do about the Confederate Monument situation

Okay it's no secret that "they" want to destroy them.
But I was thinking...
It's a sad little age in a lot of ways. Most of the things like statues, monuments that sort of thing were made in earlier eras. Now no one can even do something like the Lions in front of the NY public library.
Just stupid looking things made out of black iron.
So they are getting rid of Confederate Monuments and Memorials.
Let's start a kickstarter and make more.
How much does it cost to finance a sculpture. Anyone know?
Got to be easier to make one than in the past, with the power tools available. I'm sure you have to haul out the hammer and chisel for the fine stuff, but roughing something out from a big block has to be a lot faster these days.
Really like to see a movement to take physical ownership of things like the statues removed from Jackson Square, if the SJW's haven't already gone all Taliban on them. Collect money for purchase, finance lawsuits, that sort of thing.

So why does it bother you rather they are there or not?

I understand the inherent risk of having lions there. SAE pledges would likely start dry humping them out of habit.

There is common ground. Have cities donate them to civil war museums. They'd no longer be in public display, and people interested in Civil War history can still see them. I get the reasoning on both sides, there has to be a resolution to appease both sides. Heck, I'm sure museums would help offset costs to house them through donation.

When were a large amount of the Confederate monuments put up?

We could all put up monuments on our property and when protesters came we could practice castle doctrine

There is no more situation. Didn't you get the memo? We have now moved on to the kneelers.

How about this
Dont put up statues for anyone. Period.
They are a waste of time, resources, and space in the first place
I dont care if it is Hitler or Mother Teresa. Its stupid as frick.
