We'll you removed a statue of a Slave owning rapist I liked. Now I hate minorities. I had no choice this is your fault.
A person who was totally not a right shit before.
by telling me to stop using slurs youve forced me into being a racist!
Same shit: “by telling me to use pronoun tags, you’ve forced me into becoming a transphobe!”
Just :pit: all of these pathetic fucks.
Gonna need to narrow it down, a lot of our Presidents were friends with :epstein:
mb they mean the statue itself didnt own slaves, its just linked iconographycally to someone who did. im smart
“Hell yeah I’m auth-right. Auth-right about PCM being fucking trash.”
Buddy, if the statues upset you, I got some bad news about just getting rid of the whole fucking country
b-but, my statues! my history! :liberty-weeping:
:comfy-cool: a statue coming down is just as historic as it's errection
If your slaver statue lasts more than four hours, call a doctor
:cure-for-fascism:
"Holding people accountable for literally owning other human beings? Now that's where I draw the line bucko!"
:le-pol-face:
Thomas Jefferson isn't being held accountable for shit.
People's hard-on for statuary is this purely reactionary nostalgia for a fake history they were told to care about in grade school. This 11th hour rebranding of institutions isn't going to make anyone materially better off. It's just going to be the next front in the culture wars that make everyone worse.
"slavery links" is a funny euphemism for "raped his slaves."
So, with this logic, we can put that statue back and he'll be a centrist again. If we start building statues of Hitler, Himmler, Franco, Hirohito, Tojo, Mussolini, Goebbels and other fascist figures he'll move to Communism?
Building statues to push people around a big ideology board like magnets
"You removed a statue I've probably never even thought about before this moment and now I hate black people."
Slippery slope, indeed.
