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.

Who'd have thought this would come home to roost quite like this...
More than just culture, they are symbols of history. A shared history that the people of that area can connect with. If you deny somebody their history it's far easier to write in your own and have them accept it.

This right here. Statues are physical reminders of history.
Is Asha Logos a far leftist?
No, the first video he uploaded was on the horrors of the Bolshevik Revolution.
