Politics: General Removal of Statues Thread

[92tide]

You are missing the point of how they work. They don't invent the causes of friction. They just magnify it online, quite effectively...

you mean like having multiple double digit page count threads getting derailed by discussions of marxism at the same time

Then how come Russian Bots haven't been found that quickly for the Statue removals? If this one was found so quickly.

Where are you seeing that this was found "so quickly?" This is simply an example of how the russians troll. See the dates on the article. I would assume the russians don't sign their posts with тролль

This line of argument is essentially:

1. Ok so I'll agree that Russian trolls are actually a thing.
2. I'll even agree that they use social media networks to divide Americans along any socio-political divide. Often without taking any specific side.
3. But they are definitely not doing it around the statues because I have yet to see an article that says "Russians trolls are causing people to take down statues."

True. They have seized on each an every divisive issue for years now. IDK why statues would be any different...

Or why it would take an article from the untrustworthy news media to make someone believe that it is happening.

Statue of Sioux woman in South Dakota. I imagine this would pass muster.

Honestly Splash Mountain should've been changed awhile back for it being so dated. And if Disney has gone so far as to banning the sale of copies for The Song of The South but you can still see Black Hole then Brer Rabbit really should be removed from one of the most popular rides.

Plus having Dr. Faciler on a ride may make the ride more thrilling. keith david's voice is awesome

And Union officer Hans Christian Hegemonies, who commanded a Union army brigade at Chickamauga, where he was gutshot and died.

View attachment 9080

That is a relatively new statue. I saw it for the first time last summer when we were on our way to Yellowstone. It’s not a statue of any individual; it just represents a generic Sioux woman.

For those unfamiliar with the area, the blue in the background is the Missouri River. This is an exit off of I-90.

This is the kind of statue we should want to represent our nation and our history.

So calling them "The Chicks" isn't sexist? What happened to Metoo? I hadn't heard from these "chicks" in 18 years or so. I thought they were working at Dollar General to make ends meet. Who knew?

There is a pecking order in political correctness. At the current time #BLM is at the tippy top. #METOO is going to have to take a back seat for a little while....

Google " Jonathan Pie is frustrated with Cancel Culture ". Can't link due to language. A pretty good rant on the absurdity.
