you're right. Its only worth something if you agree with it politically. So i guess these confederate statues are worthless to me & everyone else who dislikes them

there's a difference between historic monuments and some self-important celebrity's art project

"but muh white supremasseeeeeeeeeeee-"
the Japanese internment camps are kept up, and so is Auschwitz, why can't these be kept up?
because they make you uncomfortable? too bad, just move
because they inspire tribals? no they don't, not anymore, that stuff's been moved online
because it honors tribals? too bad, they did a lot of good (or bad) to get made into a monument while you do jack stuff working at home and sipping your Starbucks like a loving weeb
you could argue that everyone who's ever been made into a statue has had discriminatory tendencies, but you wouldn't dare ask that every single statue everywhere be taken down, so sit the forget down and keep sipping that latte friend, it's time you learned your nation's goddamn loving history
Christ that kinda turned into a rant didn't it

Of course they matter, they're just representations of some of the worst people who have ever lived
This is like if Germans kept up national socialist monuments because "we gotta respect our history"

Hundreds of thousands of people didn't die under shia's flag

they're both removal of rightful property and therefore the removal of it is wrong
