Who cares about Confederate monuments?

Who cares about Confederate monuments?

I don't care about normalfags or normalfag shrines to other normalfags so it doesn't matter because only what I think matters

It's only history

and fuck the confederates/liberals/national socialist

The left can't meme

I care about history and tearing down history and destroying your past is clear signs of a society turning to tyranny

>a statue is a participation trophy
right off the bat you start with a logical fallacy

Statues aren't trophies. They're icons for historic events.

How is tearing down a statue tearing down history?

>Losers shouldn't get trophies

Where did this nonsense phrase come from? There not trophies dumbass. This isn't a fucking marathon. Wars are not fucking video games where the announcer says "victory" or "defeat" at the end of the match. Their memorials for the fallen and for those who risked their lives for the homeland and its ideals. The are symbols of our history and heritage.

I don't expect a leftist to understand the concept of honoring ones ancestors.

History cares faggot
What if someone wipes you grand parent history would it be fine for you
Destroying history will only lead to repeating the evil again

Most of these white nationalists claiming muh heritage likely have no bloodline connections to the Civil War let alone the Revolution

Monuments to a history of treachery, betrayal, and slavery.
Fuck em.

Doesn't make me angry enough to drive my car into a woman

Why can't you cunts meme at all? It's so fucking easy

Your grandparents fought in the civil war?

This doesn't dingnefy a reasonable response

Go be a retard somehwere else

that meme is so fucking bad, wouldn't expect anything else from the alt left

This is why you are losing the MSM

...

why are you guys so bad at memes?

So should we destroy holocaust memorials?

Don't care, it's traitorous bullshit anyway

have fun tearing down the Vietnam war memorial, and the 9/11 memorial, and all the other things created to remember those who have fallen for what they believe in.

I'll help you demolish the vietnam war memorial any day

>1PBTID

But Robert E. Lee helped win the Mexican-American War. Most confederate soldiers were Mexican War vets.

Don't get me wrong, I think the waving of the confederate flag for "southern pride" is retarded, but ignoring history and the facts for the sake of painting broad strokes about images of racism is wrong. Especially for the sake of censoring and destorying art.

Ghengis Khan killed 5% of the world population and raped enough women to be in the majority the worlds gene pool, but his books, images, and statues aren't seen as any less important or historic.

You only get to wave your flag if you win. Hence why we Texans get to put ours at the same height as the US flag.

I bet mote than 90% of the country couldnt name more than lee, grant and lincoln as part of the civil . Hell Ill go around today and see if one singke person can name one more general in either side without having to google it

Bulldoze the national mall

Do you think we should tear down any and all monuments to the Warsaw Uprising? Those Jews lost HARD.

>says the book burning nazi

Those statements are not mutually exclusive.
The left can't meme for shit.

>I care about history and tearing down history and destroying your past is clear signs of a society turning to tyranny

The thing is, most of the monuments can be relocated to the designated monument storage facility known as the local fucking museum you neanderthal.

There's a time and a place for everything, I can want to get those confederate eyesores out of my line of sight on my everyday commute through the city, and not be an SJW in the same way I can not want a 10-ft sculpture of a flaccid cock piece of art in its place without being a nazi

But that would destroy the bipartisan american narrative

Yes yes, everyone you don't like is a Nazi. Bush is a Nazi and Trump is a Nazi and that tree stump you can't remove is DEFINITELY a Nazi.

It's not.

Yeah we should tear down all holocaust memorials as well. Dead jews didn't win.

Wow so the alt-left are saying that statues remembering the Scottish highlander's wars against the English imperial forces shouldn't have statues commemorating them?
I didn't realise these extreme alt-leftists were so intolerant. This is what we enlightened Europeans mean when we say "the American Left is still to the right of just about everyone in Europe!". In Europe, enlightened by our history, we have learned the importance of owning your history and not hiding it away to polish your image. Western culture never lets other cultures hide their own gruesome pasts, it is always present as the tourist wanting to gawp at the reminders of their victories over their non-Western enemies.

left are bad at memes. it just doesn't kick.

And all native American statues.

>why are you guys so bad at memes?

Probably because they can't offend anyone. They can only meme low-grade hypocrisy humor.

I care about them because they are a part of American history

right, that's why there's statues of Nazis all over Berlin! Europeans are just so enlightened!

retard

>honoring a bunch of rubes who died defending a system that just made a rich planter class more money while fucking them over.

I care about history
You fucking commies can't rewrite the past

if you don't care then why are you in favor of destroying it?

when has Sup Forums ever burned a book?

I don't get why this is such a big deal. its a fucking statue, we can just rebuild it later once antifa idiots are gone.

that's a great comeback, except that the guy wasn't angry but in panic because leftist radicals hit his car and swarmed him

>i care about history
>conservatives regularly try to ban schools from teaching about slavery, trail of tears, etc.

Really gets the old ticker tickin...

Same faggots who tell Native Americans that they lost and should get over it.
>inb4 I respect muh Native warriors I be 1/64th Cherokee

the fate of the statues should be solely in the citizens hands of where it resides.

>The sacrifices of American soldiers should always be honored
>B-but not if they're rayciss, then we must erase their memory and history

Southerners have been disproportionately overrepresented in the ranks of the US army in every war from Jackson to Patton and beyond. The least you can do is remember the half-million who died on their own soil

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were slave-owning racists who rebelled against their rightful sovereign, King George III, and were traitors to the British Empire.

You're right, the Alt Right needs to remove every single Native American statue in this country.

History is written by the victors and the confederates lost. The strong kill the weak, their statues should get removed.

Only after he hit the pedal.

I know your being sarcastic, but typically native americans vote conservative. So lets spare them.

Nope, the left established the rules and we're just following them.

Confederate symbols belong in Museum's or in historically important locations as a means of education and cultural identification.

Flag wavers are sore losers whom should be mocked.

nope

Statues show that these men existed, their actions are known and what they represented is displayed. For some people it's slavery, some say state rights, it doesn't matter.

When I was with my younger brother I went by a square where I live where there are 5 statues, I showed him them and now he knows who all five of them are dedicated too and why they're important.

Essentially to me a statue is like the front cover of a history book. It's a taste of what else you'll learn from that individual when you take the time to learn about them.

People need to understand the past to prevent it happening again, lest we get stuck in a cycle of misery.

haha yeah i'm sure they'll just stop at confederate monuments, it's not like they're going to try to take a mile after we give them an inch or anything :^)

no, obviously there is no historical precedence here :^)

They're not American soldiers you tard. They rebelled against America and tried to seceed. Would you want a Benedict Arnold statue put up?
