The reality is actually probably more depressing in that it's likely being done to protect it from vandalism.

    Yeah, it is to protect them from vandalism. They did the same thing in the UK with Churchill statues. Personally I think they should keep them like that and then invite a bunch of 4Channers to cum in it but that's probably why I don't hold public office.

    Christopher Columbus was so bad that even the murderous, genocidal Spanish leaders thought he went too far and put him on trial.

      King Ferdinand: "Please find me a shortcut to the Indonesian nose candy islands."

      Columbus: "Here is an 8-year-old boy for fucking."

      King Ferdinand: "Bro, not cool."

      Columbus: "I'm going to do this another three more times, get chlamydia from all of the rapes, bleed from the eyes, and die."

      Giuliani: "Remember what Biden took from you."

    The reality is actually probably more depressing in that it’s likely being done to protect it from vandalism.

    Yeah but it's really fucking funny.

    I still laugh every time I walk past the Churchill box in London.

      Nobody despises Italians more than Italians. Giuliani is Tuscan - the capital of Italian self-loathing. If he had his druthers, he should be be shit-talking Columbus for being a smug piece of shit Genoese who couldn’t even fail upwards property.

    It's anti-Catholic only to the extent that it's anti-genocide. The Catholic clergy were actually some of the nicest of the European conquerors, trying to convert, not enslave and kill. Bartalome de las Casas is like the anti-Columbus.

    Being fascist is anti-Italian - Italians killed Mussolini. So Giuliani and Columbus are closer to the anti-Italians.
