basically they want to take down a statute of McKinely because he was the president of the united states and put the interests of the united states over a couple natives. jesus every f**k statute in the US would have to come down. these savages would love to dynamite the Lincoln memorial -- he did, while ending slavery, defeat many natives, who rose up against the US and her righteous cause when they saw we were a bit busy. this is including the execution of 38 terrorists in makato minnesota on direct orders from Lincoln, after they had massacred 490 people

apparently they are going to go ahead and take the thing down. a city, settled by americans, are taking down a statue of a guy who was a proponent of cities being settled by americans BECAUSE he was a proponent of their very existence

april fools day is the worst

It'll be okay snowflake. You can still read about your genocidal national figures and look at statues in the appropriate environment (such as, you know, museums).

I hope Germany puts up a monument to the 2018 Olympic hockey team

Lmao is this really what works people up on Easter these days? Who gives a f**k - a majority of Americans can’t find their own country on a map and I’m sure 90% have never heard of McKinley. Was he a genocidal maniac? Maybe. But who isn’t these days let’s be real.

I went to Dachau for Easter yesterday. Can you believe they removed the himmler statue from the front gate?! It’s like no cultural or historical sensitivity - god damn Germans, I thought it was a April fools joke at first as well. This land was German and Germans built ...lol I can’t even go on in a serious manner. You are a lunatic sometimes bro.

Where do you draw the line on "genocidal maniacs" and such? Because depending on how desperately one's virtue signaling and ideological self-conditioning goes, very nearly any major historical figure can probably be argued as such. I mean, Jackson, sure. But McKinley? lol.

You don't. Tear them all down and hope that one day we have evolved enough that our politicians can be celebrated and immortalized in stone for non-racial acts of horrific violence.

This isn't unique to America, you dumb son of a bitch.

Every Western nation is either confronting stuff like this, or they have already moved well past it.

At the end of the day, demonstrating basic human dignity and respect for the historical outcomes of all cultures and races and tribes is going to have a bigger and more positive impact on society than defending some statue, which isn't even being destroyed, but merely moved into locations that are actually appropriate.

As for Spain, your whataboutism is noted (everything you say is retarded, how do you even do it).
