Screw it, let's play King of the Hill with this. You have a statue, and you get to play. Last one to pull down a statue and replace it wins.

The statues have two kills already. We just need to put enough statues up to make the commies genocide themselves.

Imagine taking advantage of stupid race radicals so that they idolise you for your criminal activity. How narcissistic can you be?

Well, it was replaced by a statue of the woman who got photographed stood on the empty plinth, anyway. There's certainly nothing in the article claiming she's the one who organised the event or who did the actual pulling down.

And not officially, it's just something an artist did and isn't any kind of official replacement.

It's a monument narcissism.

You tore down the statue of someone who did something, and replaced it with someone who posed for something. Then you idolized them for posing.

It'll be made official retroactively. No government official has the spine to take that statue down again. Between the hit pieces from journalists, threats from activists and the opportunity to virtue signal nobody is going to touch the statue. Hell, I'm calling it now: they're going to replace it with a proper metal statue.

Edit: Well waddayaknow, I was wrong. The city council actually removed it.

As far as snivelling British politicians go, Bristol council seems low key mad about it. There's yet a sliver of hope as long as the public can give them a clue that it's not political suicide to remove a might-makes-right public statement.

The fuck has this chick done to deserve a statue? The fuck has any one of these plebs done to deserve recognition? These people are worthless, but still wanna be seen as hot shit. If you cannot overcome, then accept your mediocrity, accept that you will be forgotten in a generation or two.
