Oh, ok. Well a History.com article written in the height of TDS explains it all, then.
I guess we'll just ignore why Gone with the Wind became the most popular movie of all time at the height of the previously mentioned romanticization.

We need more statues of winners not losers. How would you feel if there was a 10 foot tall statue glorifying Curley Hallman at the biggest entrance to LSU? That's what we got right now on the doors of court houses all throughout the south.
Finally, we have justification to get rid of all those statues of those savage loser Indians all across the country.

It should be put to a vote. Somehow the voice of a few has become more important than the voice of many. All this social justice bullshite.
The idiots wanting Confederate statues down are ignorant. Slavery was not the leading cause of Civil War. And Confederate states were with in constitutional rights to succeed.

Very interesting
I dont Think there should be a statue of Lenin.
He was brutal and if he didn’t die he would have been carrying out the same atrocities Stalin did.
I think Painting his hands red is fitting.
That’s being said, it’s a 7 ton bronze statue with a wide base. That’s not something you just pull down with a rope and some riot buddies.

Can you tell me why you care so much about some statues of a bunch of racist traitors to the US? The fact that people care so much about keeping them up fascinates me. Taking them down doesnt erase anything. It just means we dont idolize those people and the ideals they stood for.
And where does it stop? After the statues are gone are books next?

Now there is a bunch of shite that needs to end for sure like vandalism but we could do a better job immortalizing Americans that actually were great and we're also winners.
Shitty take.

The only bad thing I see about the whole issue is the idiots who don't know history and just target a statue for the sake of it being a statue, despite the person memorialized having had a positive impact on our union and/or the people.
And therein lies the dilemma. When the idiots get through with whatever statue offends them they’ll move on to the next. And the next. Books, paintings, buildings, people.

It’s always been about fascism and destruction of American ideals. I mean, they are openly saying this daily now.

Fair play, right?

You disappeared all last season, conveniently.

Hard to post when you're banned.
It must kill your soul to know that I enjoyed the hell out of the season. I can show you pics of my trips to a playoff game and the natty sometime. Had some great times.
Unlike you, LSU football, or any sport for that matter, also isn't that big of a part of who I am as an individual. Imagine going through life defining yourself like you do. It's kind of sad.

It has nothing to due with the statues per se, its a systemic Marxist move to undermine traditional American values much in the way the Maoist changed China.
The Left's Strategy and Tactics To Transform America
quote:
The “otherism” strategy developed by Marxists to destroy America focuses on the systematic destruction of identity leading to the systematic disenfranchisement of Americans from America. It manipulates the issues of the “other”, yet it has nothing to do with the “other”. Rather, it forces a classic dialectical negation along Hegelian lines. This activity presents a clear and present danger that will succeed if not countered.
quote:
A strategic understanding of the Left recognizes that it is dialectically driven. As such, the Left is a teleologically informed movement that executes through history and thought, along an arc, with a trajectory. It is Hegelian. It defines everything that “is” as fuel for “becoming” in a dialectical process that compels it to negate. — “Change” “Perpetual Revolution” — Analysis of the Left that does not account for the dialectic will fail.
quote:
The critical theory of the Frankfurt School is classical Marxism dedicated to penetration and subversion that relies on Hegelian processes to achieve its objectives:
It seeks the destruction of Western culture;
It is focused on an “aufheben der Kultur” strategy based on “otherisms” (and is nothing more than the targeted application of the dialectical principle of negation to a people)
It is fully integrated into larger political warfare efforts

If you think that statue is honoring him you are way off base.
Then again- I could be giving the people I'm referring to a little more credit than they deserve, regarding knowledge of world history.
A good percentage of them probably think this is a statue of the ex-Beatle.

I don’t support it, but I understand it. Every now again a volcano erupts. People are emotional beings and years of perceived abuse and ambivalence frustrates. When votes and campaigns and peaceful protests yield little result over time, frustration boils over.
