What Does Memorializing George Floyd, Tearing Down Statues Say About Society?

[Etymology gaslight]

The article What Is the Future of George Floyd Square? (link) excerpts below, unintentionally makes a powerful statement about what we honor as a society. We tear down statues of Theodore Roosevelt (who was the first to have a black person as a guest at the White House) and even Abe Lincoln. These people have massive accomplishments. What were George Floyd's accomplishments? Passing counterfeit bills? Excerpts from article:
Sad that we celebrate crime and destruction, not accomplishment. Where to people expect the money comes from for social programs? From the air?

Bring lots of money.

There's a list
going of people who threw anonymous bricks at cops and firemen first responders...

After that
they called fireman cops in first responders when they needed that kind of help.

Is that hypocrisy
Paradox
pathos
Patriotism ?

 

[Etymology gaslight]

LOL yeah maybe for the Democrat oligarchs that fund them.

25 million dollar
Bernie & Jane

Way out oligarched the Oligarchy.

Even Rich socialists
"can't take it with them".

I read reports from 9 different police departments. Your post is garbage.

So nobody in those riots has called for emergency assistance since the summer of love
is that what you're saying ?

Which nine reports
did you cherry pick

I'm pretty sure

this isn't homeless camp

I think we might have different definitions of peaceful.

Where's the DISGUSTING FILTH? Why aren't they taking responsibiity for --

Unfortunately, the 25th marks the fifth anniversary that a low-life career criminal, whose wasted life was brought to an end when he resisted arrest for passing counterfeit money and because rather than risk being returned to prison for a very long stretch decided it was a good idea to ingest his stash of narcotics. Meanwhile, the police officer, Derek Chauvin was railroaded on a murder charge and so the Left had yet another "martyr" to mythological white supremacist police brutality with which they could continue their goal of societal destruction in the cause of seizing absolute power and turning our society and nation inside out.

The anniversary of Floyd’s overdose death on May 25th, 2020 led to an outpouring of political
commemorations of his death and musings about the need for yet more ‘racial justice’, none of which accounted for the 2,000 more black people killed in 2020 than in 2019.


The Floyd reckoning killed more black people than Hurricane Katrina did. The real legacy of the BLM race riots were 2,000 dead black people. The real legacy of the fists and kneelings were entire cemeteries filled with dead black bodies over the course of only one single year.

And coffins being placed in cemeteries across the country, planted there by the ‘reckoning’.

More Americans died in the BLM wars than were killed in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars combined. Or at Pearl Harbor. To find a conflict that was more lethal to Americans, you would have to go back to Vietnam. Far more were killed by the BLM crime wave than perished in Hurricane Katrina, not to mention Sandy, Harvey, Maria, Ike and the California wildfires.

George Floyd’s death was the single deadliest non-drug or disease event of any war or natural disaster in the United States in the last 40 years.

Never forget, never, ever, ever-ever forget

dimocraps are the scum of the Earth

To achieve a totalitarian state, especially a Marxist one, a nation's history must be erased, the culture so disrupted it ceases to exist, all religion and traditional values eliminated or altered beyond recognition. The gullible sheep who aid and abet that effort are the ones demanding that sports teams, buildings, etc. be renamed and who are destroying or removing historical monuments/statues/markers all over the country, etc.

It's a scary thing.

George Orwell in "I984" appears to have predicted what is happening:

". . .“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. . ."

Marxist States are of a necessity totalitarian. Every last one of them. The question is -- Chicken or egg? Are they totalitarians because they're socialists or are they socialists because they're totalitarians. The two seem to be inseparable

Even non-Marxist socialism is Totalitarian by necessity. It just has to be. Without totalitarianism, socialism of any kind can not work. It just isn't possible at all.

Over a hundred failed attempts at socialism, over 100 Million lives lost and yet, dimocrap scum, the filthiest, most disgusting human beings to ever infest the planet with their disgusting presence, keep trying to institute it yet again.

Republicans see "1984" as a warning, dimocrap scum see "1984" as a "How To" book

Marxism in its purest form will evolve into communism in which governments are dissolved and the people presumably will live in perfect harmony with each according to his ability voluntarily providing to each according to his need. (Marxism of course completely ignores human nature in that philosophy but that is the Utopia Marx and Engles envisioned.)

To get to that point requires all desire for personal property to be eliminated, all prior concept of family loyalties, morality, religious faith, nationalism and patriotism and the history that produced them is torn away. The process requires gradual but ultimate infiltration of control over the nation's institutions until a totalitarian government obtains total power that can completely control the message and every aspect of life of the people.

No government having achieved the totalitarian stage, however, has ever been willing to voluntarily give up that power. Another fly in the communist ointment that Marx and Engles never anticipated.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Nancy Pelosi said, “People will do what they do.” with regards to tearing down statues.

So, she totally supports damaging property in the name of politics.

Excuse me sir; I am a Democrat.

I was never that wild about what society has done before or during my lifetime.

Wrong, it starts as capitalism, then socialism then a stateless state of communism.

Great analogy.

I have long looked at the Biblical prophets and contemplated that few, if any, knew they they were prophesying at the time. And I have long believed that scripture, including prophecy, inspired of a higher power, is still being written though it won't ever make it into the book.

So much in works of fiction come to pass as an ultimate reality. You have to wonder if a higher intelligence wasn't guiding that.

 

[Moonglow]

1984 was a total rip-off of Nazi Germany and Communist Russia.

That's exactly how it is written. These guys are too brainwashed and ignorant to know that.

We're a nation of victims, waiting for a "dear leader" to save us.
