Frederick Douglass statue was torn down over the weekend.
I guess this is what we get for dumbing down u.s. society for a few generations.

This is a complete disgrace. Attacking Grant and Lincoln was bad enough, but going after Douglass is just despicable.

It's all part of the plan

Yes, and the "politically correct" movement came directly out of Marxist rhetoric of the early 20th century. To be clear, I am not a Marxist although I can see how it would appeal to idealistic young people of today. The lesson of history tells us it does not work and has never worked. Politically correct is the opposite of free speech.

Many nowadays ascribe to "your rights end where my feelings begin" and it's just backwards.

100% agree - when I was younger Marxist ideas seemed great and I never understood why they were bad - the ideas solely rests on the thought that everyone is capable of critical thought and a robotic altruistic nature, in essence it’s a fantasy world. As an adult it’s plain to see that “power corrupts absolutely” and so even if the ideas sounds nice in theory I’d argue this as a main reason on why it could never work

The thing is niggers and other brown minorities are pretty stupid and poor so communism would appeal to them. Also young people dont work and they have everything spoonfed to them by their parents.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. —George Orwell 1984

This quote makes me think of recent “demonstration” over the weekend at Stone Mountain outside of ATL. It’s all “mostly” peaceful while a large heavily armed militia of “protestors” (aka extreme haters) are on megaphones taunting the “white supremists” (aka non BLM chronies and/or anyone w iota of critical thinking ability). It’s all “mostly peaceful” assuming you agree w the mob. Just wait til the vax mobs are activated/mobilized later this year....beware of the “seriously scared” mind controlled- they’re the adult version of the blood curdling screaming infant/child. Nothing can continue and no one is allowed to think or relax until the screaming “child” is pacified.
