Not only stupid, it's evil. Iconoclasts are one of the few groups with the ability to genuinely get me irrationally angry, because they never stop at just the "bad" statues and they never stop at just the statues, either. Statuary is history, in solidified form, for good or ill.
Knocking down statues is a wedge to start re-writing history, but also as you say, a way to crush the spirit and identity of the people. It's no different to the taliban destroying those giant buddhas, or cromwell's destruction of the lady chapel at Ely Cathedral (or even the historically and culturally offensive "replacement" statue of Mary that Labour shoved in there during its recent renovations).
They're pushing to start knocking down statues in London right now.

London slavery statue removed from outside museum
The Canal and River Trust says the Robert Milligan statue's removal "recognises community wishes" .www.bbc.co.uk
I'm legitimately MOTI over this.
I just can't get over Antifa attacking a statue of Churchill. Love or hate the dude he was the most significant anti fascist of all time. I mean what the fuck? I get them attacking statues of Confederate leaders or old timey slavers, but Churchill and Lincoln? It's like they see an image of an old white dude and their Medula kicks into the that one time their dad refused to buy them a PS4 for their birthday. Faggots.
