I was reading a very interesting article by a guy who survived the civil war in Bosnia (1990s). He said right before the war a big thing was monuments removal. He had a lot of other similarites to now in USA.

- Monuments removal
- Fake News Media
- Identity Politics
- Problems that couldn't be solved with laws trying to be solved with laws
- Complete Outrage

If you google Selco and Bosnian War you can find many of his writings. Selco is his name.

This! Everything they're doing in VA should be blasted across the airwaves in a series of "This is their plan for America" message ads.

Almost makes you wonder if Governor Coonman isn’t a plant.

Monument Avenue is beautiful.

It’s a shame to tear down history like the Taliban did in Afghanistan or the Bolsheviks did in Russia.

The current state of Virginia should really be a cautionary tale for everyone.

it is what it is. The confederate army is forever linked side by side with slavery. And black people in this country dont forget shite.

I have yet to run across one single jew who constantly rails on the hardships of the holocaust. History is is what it is, its history.

The damn pandering to all this is just mystifying.

We actually haven’t determined if Northam was wearing the Klan outfit, or was in black face.

I agree.

I would note that this is Virginia history, or at least white Virginia history.

The people who want to destroy these statues are also white. But they’re from the North, and while they may not be self aware enough to appreciate it, what they’re trying to do is erase our cultural history, and us with it. If they’re successful, we will eventually cease to exist.

It’s a zero sum battle between two very different cultures.

Just ensure that all monuments are treated equally.

All they did was turn power back to locals, it made no sense that they were protected by the state anyway. Where are you small government conservatives now??

They very well might stay put, they might not. But the city of Richmond should be able to decide, just like any other statue in the state and the communities they belong to.
