Except that ISIS was doing despite public.. destroying the timeless pieces for eternity. I doubt ISIS had the permission nor support of the locales to destroy those antiquities. In this case the locals of the city/towns are deciding to remove them... not destroying them. Are you against public making such decisions for their own community? No one is building a new caliphate over these towns/cities.... nor making them more Marxist... it is as simply as the community no longer finds them relevant nor reflect the communities' views.
I mentioned this before... if that were the case, my area would still have street names after Nazi figures.... I'm certainly happy those communities decided to change them. They could have kept the street names and even the youth/adult camps if they wish but I doubt it would have reflected well on their communities.
You are naive as to what is really going on and what the actual end game is.
This is exactly how it starts. I visited Cambodia last year. You think Pol Pot woke up one day and started killing people? It took him decades to groom his message.
Where ISIS went wrong is that they got impatient. They should’ve bided their time and gotten stronger, just like every other successful insurgency, instead of trying to take over right now.
The marxists in the US know they aren’t strong enough to take over right now. They will spend the next couple of decades grooming people like you. Today, you accept Lincoln being delegitimized. Who cares about Lincoln anyway, right? But what will you accept tomorrow? What will you accept in a decade?
You are a sheep being led by a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Yes take it down .Lincoln' The Great Emancipator ' ,never saved the Union and Slavery never existed. Remove all evidence of the past .The past is old news. .Progressiveness will free you.
In other news, University of Michigan's IT department suggests terms like ‘picnic’ and ‘brown bag’ are offensive (link), since the "task force deemed "picnic" offensive might originate with claims on social media that the word has its origins in the lynching of African Americans." Frankly, I think that Abraham Lincoln statues and brown bag lunches have less to do with underclass status than fatherless homes and teenage pregnancy.
On my list of things to worry about this is number 14,311,012.
On July 9, 1776 the citizens of Boston said screw history and tore down a statue of King George.
History evolves.
Colonial Americans showed they were no longer bowing to King George and today black Americans no longer must bow to the white man no matter how much that pisses some of you off.
Especially a white man who was instrumental in freeing them, and don’t forget the thousands who died on the union side that set them free. Oh how offensive
"The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was the first law enacted by the United States Congress clearly defining U.S. citizenship and affirming that all citizens are equally protected by the law. The Act represented the first step, albeit an incomplete one, towards civil and social equality for Black Americans during the Reconstruction Period that followed the Civil War. "
"All lawsuits arising under the Civil Rights Act were to be tried in federal courts, rather than at the state level, though the act was seldom enforced. While few observers expected the legislation to change the prevailing racial attitudes held by both Northern and Southern whites, the law aimed to protect African Americans from deprivation of the minimal rights of citizenship."
Especially a white man who was instrumental in freeing them, and don’t forget the thousands who died on the union side that set them free. Oh how offensive
Regular black folks who support BLM don’t even realize who is actually propping up that organization.
A hint: it certainly isn’t black people. BLM is just a tool for white marxists to grab more power.
So when a black person cancels a Lincoln statue in the name of not “bowing down to white people” they need to realize that they are actually bowing down to white people (marxists) who want to be their future masters.
But they will never hear that message from the MSM and big tech, because they are the propaganda wing of those same marxists.
