Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

Weren’t the confederate soldiers all pardoned and given appropriate pensions by the military? There’s no way you would name anything by them now but I just hate the idea of renaming them because you cannot give an inch to these fucks, and know full well they’re not going to stop and will want Washington and Jefferson removed from everything.
 
Why do they even want us to forget about that era? Aren't they constantly appealing to it to make people in the here and now feel guilty for what happened back then? How the hell are they going to keep pulling that off if there aren't any memorials around? Shitty textbooks, I guess.
 
I guess they think that these statues and the like glorify racism, while ignoring that some of those people did indeed do things worthy of praise (heck, Robert E Lee himself was against racism, only leading the Confederates out of loyalty to his home state). But of course, why look at all that nonsense? It's just whitewashing racism in our country.

On another note, this was posted in another thread:


Shame, as she's one of my favorite voice actresses.

Because they want to make it easier to control the narrative using their revised history. The more real history they can destroy, the more their simplified, dumbed-down version where it was Union Good Forever and Confederates Evil Always can grow in its place, and the more they can use it to smear modern living people in those same places.

I'll give you good odds that once it's all down to Union Good Forever and Confederates Evil Always, they'll start turning against Union Good Forever, too. That's just the way of these people: if you put anything under a powerful enough microscope, you'll find cancel-worthy "problematic" things about it.

The important thing is that all the people in the past were bad, so we should discard everything they ever thought, wrote, and did, and pay heed only to the works of recent, enlightened souls.

What a fucking racket.

They don't really want us to forget about the era, which is why I'm always a little sad Republicans and boomers focus too much on "historical revisionism."

When rioters burn down and tear down monuments they're not looking at them as a symbol of something historical, but an icon of something modern. Robert E Lee is a white man. He's a symbol of modern whites to them. This is why you see people trying to commit arson on houses with American Flags flying in front of them, or why rioters tossed burning American Flags onto the statue of Columbus when they tore it down. They hate the America that exists today, not the America of yesterday.

In essence you can envision this as a kind of motte and bailey. The public-facing branch of BLM or Antifa tells everyone that they hate these statues because they're honoring racists of the past who are best left behind. That's the motte. Many people will agree that they shouldn't be honored. The bailey they're defending is what the protestors actually believe. They hate icons of white America, and Christopher Columbus is as much a present symbol of America for them as George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. They won't stop with the disliked leaders, they're going to destroy every vestige of nationality that isn't aligned with revolutionary values.

Thomas Jefferson is guaranteed to be the next target.

They already have.

Whenever some professional victim dindu brings up slavery, remind them that America fought its bloodiest war to fucking end it.
Then watch how fast the Civil War stops being about slavery in their eyes.

Did you ever have anyone like that suddenly doing a 180 and claiming that "it wasn't about slavery, it was about states' rights"?

The irony would be spectacular.

Lincoln did want to send slaves to Liberia.
But let's not pretend this is about historic grievances. This is about reparations and eventual balkanization.

No but I did get some dumb shit about US imperialism which is an unintentional round-about way of saying they think the South should be independent I guess?

Usually though they just ignore the cause of the war and call Lincoln a racist and talk about how the North had slaves too and Sherman did mean things to the Native Americans.

It begins
 
The new hotness in TDS is that Trump’s first post Wuflu rally will be in Tulsa on June 19th, and the hand wringing is not over Corona Chan since that panic can’t be brought back, but is now over how thats Juneteenth and the city was the location of racial violence a hundred years ago and this is a dog whistle.

A part of me just just wants to pull the Ellie/Abby TLOU2 choke meme on them because do you not think Trump and his team knows this date and location and is going to use it to try and give a speech about it? You’ve been wrong about everything else and it’s as if you’re preemptively scared of him dropping a strong speech, likely hoping for rioters to show up and sabotage the event.

Too bad now anything Creepy Joe tries to do as counter programming will look fake, since everything he did for George Floyd was ignored.
 
This makes me so fucking MATI. These people will gladly destroy their hometowns because one drugged up black person gets shot, and demand everyone bend the knee at verbal gunpoint, but when the same people they lionize over race commits a similar race-based atrocity, it's total fucking silence.

Fuck these people. Fuck them so hard.
