Explanation: For those of you lucky enough to not be aware of US political squabbling, it has been a recurring issue these past few decades over whether statues of âheroesâ of the Confederacy, the attempted slaver secession of the US Civil War, should be torn down. Many of those statues were, in the first place, erected in response to the Civil Rights Movement in an attempt to intimidate Black Americans.
The excuse given by many is that tearing down such statues is âdestroying historyâ and âerasing the pastâ. As if keeping propaganda pieces up in public spaces is necessary to remember historical events.
Maybe theyâve got a point. We didnât put up statues honoring the Nazis after WWII, and lots of Americans forgot that they were the bad guys.
(/j, if it wasnât clear)
In the name of remembering history, I DEMAND more statues of Nazi officials depicting them on October 16th, 1946
And when they speak of heritage, just grab an example from the comments section of this vid: https://youtube.com/watch?v=-ZB2ftCl2Vk
Most of my clothes have lasted longer than the Confederacy.

The Confederate flag should have been treated just like the Nazi flag right from the beginning. Ban any reference to it outside of museums and textbooks.
