Don’t see how.

@Dustcan  
To me, it shows how easily protests can degenerate into wanton destruction.
 
History is complicated and mobs are not given to careful analysis.
 
Before he was a general, Grant was given a slave, but the idea of forcing a man to work did not sit well with him, and he freed his slave after about a year, even though he lived in poverty and could have used the help. Grant’s actions as a general and president more than exonerate him.
 
The history of Francis Scott Key is mixed on the matter of slavery. He freed slaves, including 400 as part of an estate, and as a lawyer argued in their legal defense, but later became an anti-abolitionist. Does Francis Scott Key deserve a statue? It’s hard to say. I’d rather not leave that decision up to a angry mob.
 
I agree with demolishing statues of Confederate figures. They were traitors to America and people have been trying to have the statues removed for years, but there is a slippery slope in trying to destroy anything that isn’t perfectly PC by today’s standards.

@Latecomer  
At present we have the twitterati making that impossible.

@silbasa  
Well how about we sane people ally against Nazis and Leninists alike?

@Latecomer
 
@Latecomer
 
Uhuh. Most of them on Twitter call themselves Marxist Leninists. Nazis just kill you. Done. Communists destroy your society so you die from hunger, wrongthink or some lack of critical shit you need. You die either way.

@silbasa  
Except that Western socialists have no desire to go on some crazy revolution with piles of corpses.

@Background Pony #3FB5  
Ooor. they could learn to get along with others without dominating them?
 
 
@silbasa  
If you think those are the same thing, then you’re wrongest.

@Zincy  
I am well aware. And how many millions were displaced and killed by the NKVD? The KGB? The cultural revolution? 2 sides of the same that leads to, sorry to say it, piles of corpses. There is no communist utopia. There is no national socialist utopia.

@silbasa
 
You know one of the first group of people persecuted by the Nazis were socialist dissenters, they were the chief rivals of the Nazi regime before it came to power during the Weimar Republic.
 
Afterwards, many death camps held socialist and communist prisoners, they even had their own special symbol.

@Latecomer  
Communism/national socialism. Same shit. You are wrong or you think wrong. End result camps filled with dead people that where somehow “wrong”.
 
 
@NitroFury  
They seem to have “some” level of that left yes :P

@Background Pony #3FB5  
Don’t let the door hit you in the keister on the way out.

I’ve said this before long ago, the CCP are just a bunch of Fascists pretending to be Communists, they can pretend to Commies, but it seems to have some Totalitarianism lingering in them. They’re trying to suppress the information about their horrid actions, as well as horrid historical events such as Tiananmen Square of 1989. Their cover-up of the Coronavirus just seems to be their latest move, cause what does the CCP know that we don’t

Black Lives Matter slowly turns into beat up White Lives.  
The time will come when white people have to flee from the US. And Canada. And western europe.  
East Europe, last bastion it will be.

@silbasa  
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is democratic, it’s in the name!
 

@silbasa  
Not really, no. Unless you consider North Korea a Democratic People’s Republic just because it says so?

@Dustcan  
Why not boh?

@NitroFury  
Psst: Its two sides of the same coin. National socialist? Huh? Wink wink, hint hint?

@kleptomage
 
I don’t know if that’s a bigger indictment against the indiscriminate nature of the protests or against our educational system.
 
But that sure is a quick way to lose support.

@NitroFury  
there you start to understand a thing.  
like if there’s a difference.

@silbasa  
The CCP is more Fascist than Communist.

@silbasa  
but it wasn’t real communism, communism is humanitarian and kindness uwu
 

 
@kleptomage  
yeah but you know everybody back then were esclavationagists!
 
 
@Dustcan  
What book did you learn this bullshit… “French History but for Americans, common core/gender studies edition”
 
Oooh…

@NitroFury  
The wonders of communism. Behold!
