Why, though?
Why is this the hill the left has chosen to die on..??
This predates Floyd. Arguably it goes back much further than that, but modern leftists... Seem to have made this "their lot", this last... Decade. Why? Why do we think that is??
Not books, not movies, but statues and buildings. Why the fuck is this the left's current game?
The culture wars have, as I say, come to my home city now (thanks, leftist cunts), and I do actually have a dog in this fight, as a result.
Tips on how to fight back appreciated.
Oddly, this is being done expressly against the wishes of ratepayers, only weeks before an election is due to take place, for that council. It is very, very dubious timing, to say the least.
I know these people personally (the councillors), so while they ain't gonna listen to me, you can sure as shit bet I am going to use that to my advantage, here, lol...
Who'd have thought this would come home to roost quite like this...
I'd imagine it's in the same vein as their proclivity to erect abominable modernist buildings that everyone knows look like shit. They want to break down anything unique about an area so that it better conforms to their implicit globalist outlook.
Also, particularly for statues, they can claim a moral high ground because the person probably said nigger in a personal letter to a friend at some point and your average normie isn't going to care a super whole lot to fight for a statue if doing so is going to label them as racist.
Amusingly, I found a hyper-local example of almost exactly this, lol...

You heard about that stupid fucking rock somewhere in the US that the "black student caucus" demanded be removed, I assume..?
"hmm, titima, trefoil... temdudheker lol what? Colliboi.."
"oh. kek"
What, Stone Mountain? I'd be delighted to see them try.
Nah, this one lol: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/12jvuAYufM/university-of-wisconsin-students/c/
I think this may even have been the first place I read about it!
Absolute narcissistic bullshit, that one, ha... And they even interrupted a native burial site to move it. No joke. Because "pyramids of oppression", and all that shit...
Guess the rock should have worded its letters more carefully.
