Very fine people do not march carrying torches and chanting Nazi slogans. Blob supporters do. Why do you continue to pretend otherwise. It’s what you guys are..,bigoted, hyper antagonistic, and dishonest.
Perhaps you commies should get the timeline right. The torch march was the night before the protest of removing the statues. People form all walks were there the day of the protest. But that doesn't fit you lying propaganda, does it?
.
The torch march by blob supporting Nazi wasn’t a protest? What was it? Just blob supporters being blob supporters?
So people who are trying to protect history and preserve public displays are Nazi's, but the people who want to tear history and relics down are not.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
George Orwell, 1984
Lost Cause statues are not "history". They're propaganda transmitters. The technology of the time.
NO statue is a "history". History is kept in what we call "books". The purpose of statues is not "history" --- it is "glorification".
No, it is history, just history the commies can't stand. If we allow them to remove history in statues, what's stopping them from removing history in books?
The simple fact that, again, STATUES ARE NOT HISTORY. They're fricking GLORIFICATION.
When New Orleans removed several of these Lost Cause monuments the first one to go was a memorial to a city coup d'etat, completely illegal, which overthrew the duly elected biracial city government and as the plaque declared, "gave us our state". That obelisk stood at the foot of Canal Street, literally the busiest traffic spot in the city, for decades before the city moved it, prompting a lawsuit by David Duke to put it back. After being moved to a less noticeable spot, it's now completely gone. And yet the history of that city coup is not only STILL KNOWN but highlighted
by the removal of that obelisk that stood in place reminding the black citizens who was in charge around here.
Similarly, when the plaque that the UDC --- the same group who ran around erecting all these Lost Cause propaganda transmitters --- had put on a building in Pulaski Tennessee "honoring" that building as the birthplace of the original Ku Klux Klan, was turned backward so its inscription could no longer be read, the only ones upset about it were the Klan stragglers themselves. And yet, that history of that building and what went on in it, is well known and documented, WITHOUT the plaque.
Disempowering propaganda transmitters serves to write
more history books, not fewer. A city removes a statue or monument somewhere, the public wants to know why. That begets investigation, which then tells you about the Lost Cause Cult, the Klan, other terrorist groups like the White League, it tells you all about who was who and what they did. Would you rather sit amidst a veneer of propaganda and never be told you were being lied to?
And finally, as in the case in the New Orleans monuments above and innumerable other places including Charlottesville, these propaganda transmitters were placed -- DELIBERATELY -- on public property, in high-profile areas, where they would have the biggest propaganda impact. That public property still belongs to the public, and that public still has the right to decide how its property will be used. That's what New Orleans did and that's what Charlottesville did too. They voted to evict the propaganda, prompting a gaggle of fascists like Duke and Spencer and Fields to come oozing in from out of town to tell a city none of them live in what it can do with its own property.
Tellya what. Do you know who the Nazis were? As much as they're invoked on this forum, you should. But how can you know after this happened?
