Geez when will this POS self hating white cuck go away??

What was in the original one? All "historical" orgs have lost all credibility as they sat on the sidelines while all this garbage was happening.

If Virginians ever elect someone with sense again he should have that thing dug back up and trashed so future generations don't think us insane.

Most (not all) time capsules are dumb. The people of any generation don’t really have a clue about what future generations will consider historically significant from their age.

Occasionally, something of interest will be found in a time capsule, but mostly not.

The cultural marxists could have actually have achieved the unlikely, if they let normal folks pick the items that represent this new Clown World. There is no doubt that 100 years from now, people will have a hard time understanding how our culture went so fricking wrong so quickly.

A time capsule could be useful. But these items they chose are laughable.

The historical societies are terrified they will be next - they’re cowards.

Do it. Wokeness won't last forever. When the next authoritarian ideology takes power, that ideology will tear down and destroy all things 'woke'.

In some ways, this may be a good idea. Several hundred years from now, future historians can look at this to have a better understanding of what happened to what once was a great country.

They've changed history. Now they're screwing with the future. Good grief...

Some of the items include a photo of a Black ballerina taken by a local Richmond photographer in front of the statue, Kente cloth worn at the 400th commemoration of 1619, a "Black Lives Matter" sticker, "Stop Asian Hate" fliers, an LGBTQ pride pin, and an expired vial of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine.


"Now in 2021, this capsule gives future Virginians artifacts of the tectonic transition that has happened to us," DiPasquale said. "The pedestal marks the past and has a new message for the future: we, all of us, are the New Virginia."


New Virginia sounds like a bunch of fricking assholes.

At least future generations will know who to blame for the fricked up world they are going to live in.

Oh for frick’s sake, no. It’s a time capsule for a reason. I understand the argument against Confederate statues, but not this. This is erasing history.

They don’t like actual history, so they’ll replace actual history with artifacts that represent what they wish history was, and prevent future generations from learning about actual history.

1984

There’s an alternative that would accomplish what the current idiots want without destroying anything: leave the older capsule in place and place the new one alongside it with an explanation that the current idiots believe they’re a superior civilization. There’s no downside to this approach except it doesn’t allow the idiots to erase history that they find distasteful.

It’s all been about erasing history. You have to erase history to delegitimize the white Christian males.

And by a relatively small number of insecure, inarticulate, and unprincipled sociopaths with very big microphones. Funny how media methods can juxtapose wisdom and absurdity in the same frame and give the perception that BOTH deserve equal attention. Teach your children well...
