They want Robert E. Lee and Confederate monuments destroyed because they serve as a reminder that your state should come before the federal government. They want complete and utter subservience to a large and oppressive federal government. It's also no coincidence that Trump championed state's rights and now they keep saying they want him impeached.
Endless NeoCon wars also promote this feeling of nationalism; the USA vs the world. They want you to never think of yourself as a citizen of your state, but as a citizen of the USA.
>They want Robert E. Lee and Confederate monuments destroyed because
A traitor
Lose a civil war, you shouldn't get statutes built to you.
Michael Myers
They want them destroyed because its out of the Moaist handbook. Destroy the monuments, the culture, the heritage and replace it with commie ideology. Strip us of our identity and reduce us to labor.
Henry Rogers
>reddit spacing Go back to R/Communism
Jackson Morales
Come on user, you didn't even put any effort into that bait. Try again, I know you can do better.

Easton Gonzalez
Benedict Arnold has a monument dedicated to him, even if his name is omitted.
Ryan Garcia
I doubt that. Now that Trump is elected, lefties are all about muh states rights.
James Roberts
So, CSA were right after all, huh?
Joseph Bennett
>trying to spin taking down participation trophies in your favor Okay
Jonathan Ward
I dont see how Soviets equate to the Moaist revolution that murdered their culture.
Daniel Hernandez
They're just doing it because it's there and they have an insane fetish that, somehow, slavery is bad and all monuments that (((they))) tell them to hate have to be removed.
Or to put it another Obama and Mrs. Clinton don't understand what it is to be civilised and hate the concept anyway.
Zachary Bailey
>slavery is bad
How can you even defend that shit?
Nolan Green
What nation celebrates its losers?
We should defenders of these statues 'Lobert E Rees'.
Joseph Baker
HOLY SHIT OP, you are a fucking genius
I just finally understood why the federal government wants to put down the statue of a guy that fought against the federal government.
thanks OP for your insightful explanation, I probably would have never figured that out
Adam Gutierrez
They want to tear down any reminder of how the states fought for their sovereignty, and statues of the heroes of the south remind people of their valor. Tearing down statues is to erase history, in order to have a 2nd civil war.
The end results is to cement an authoritarian SJW gov
Jayden Rivera
don't bother buddy, Sup Forumscucks love losers. Its why they love Hitler so much
Dylan Reyes
You'll notice all the anti-monument people in here are using reddit spacing.
Lucas Torres
Try telling your eventual Muslim overlords that.
Angel Wright
haha I know right?? I mean how is that possible for ppl to disagree with u in your safe space right?? they are obviously paid shills from soros reddit hillary foundation!
Ryan Sullivan
to many to count.
John Flores
Show your flag
Wyatt Carter
No they aren't. They go insane everytime Trump suggests that the states should decide on issues like gay marriage instead of the federal government.
Jaxon Anderson
No I just think you are libshits coming over to pay us a visit. We all have our political differences but no one with an ounce of culture endorses tearing down historical and cultural monuments. Also the spacing. Had you guys not used spacing indicating you were not from here I would have just thought you were trolling.
Matthew King
are you completely dumb or just pretending?
when did anyone tear down a monument you big moron? they simply removed the statue to a fucking museum they didn't destroy the statue, you huge retard
Logan Bell
It's the disrespect I can't stand. Reading posts like these makes me feel like punching a Yankee on the nose.
Mason Gomez
This. You don't see any hitler statues in Poland, right?
Cooper Wilson
The one in North Carolina and the four in Baltimore dumb ass.
Landon Jenkins
you moron should accept your defeat. Losers don't get to write history
Matthew Butler
shut up you filthy lying piece of shit. Literally no statue was destroyed. Post link of proof or shut the fuck up
Chase Rivera
Ironic as it sounds, you might actually be right in this case. Only an idiot would brave this place if it wasn't known to him. Paying someone is the quickest way to make them forget their reason.
Tear that shit down, then. Statues are for winners.
Zachary Collins
i have seen retards who have more sense then you
David Campbell
ahahah those were CIVILIANS that got arrested after you moron, it wasn't the government . And they didn't even destroy it they just threw it down
is that the best you got? lmao
Luke Harris
Should this one get taken down too then?
Luis Barnes
But you do believe slavery is bad.
Luis Butler
Every single confederate monument should be replaced with a statue of General Sherman.
Jaxon Allen
>MUH STATUE
lmao dumbass redneck trash
Jaxon Diaz
>implying he is not one of them
Bentley Price
You're quite ignorant of American history.
Oliver James
The 'losers' in the civil war fought and died for their interpretation on the constitution. There's literally nothing more American or patriotic. Everyone calling these people traitors learned everything they know on the matter from a public school, likely a single teacher. It's amazing how much faith some put in the system.
P.S. I am glad that nigger is getting charged with felonies.
Tyler Bennett
this delusional nigger here thinks the confederacy won. Hey buddy are you lost in a different timeline or are you just retarded?
Sebastian Cruz
That is irrelevant. Fuck off.
Xavier Scott
...
James Taylor
The only side that was treasonous was the north, who refused to let states operate and exercise their own constitutional powers. States have a right to leave the union, just like brexit.
Jaxson Miller
He's right, that's why we should tear down Martin Luther King Jr statues. He lost, he was assassinated before black people got equality. They're still victims in a white supremacist system. MLK memorials serve to remind Nazis that they can kill black men who stand up.
Owen Fisher
Oh, now you say this 200 years later. Fucking kill yourself kike I'll throttle you with my bare hands. You're probably white, too.
Anthony Martinez
you still haven't given me a SINGLE PROOF of a statue being DESTROYED.
ALL statues that got removed are being sent to museums, NO STATUE was ever destroyed by the government
Gabriel Fisher
Are you implying winning a war equals being right?
Camden Martinez
Makes sense to me OP.
Civil War was not about Slavery, but State Rights.
Lincoln Jackson
Most of these monuments were built to honor fallen US Veterans, yes they were US Veterans post civil war. Look it up.
Joseph James
>A traitor. Lose a civil war, you shouldn't get statutes built to you.
Washington and the founding fathers were traitors to the British and we don't support traitors on any sides, so their statues must go too.
Owen Perry
Only slavery of white people is bad.
Josiah Kelly
no one in the usa literally gives a shit about slavery slavery exists today legally in the middle east asia and africa if people really cared about slavery they would be fighting to end it where it legally exists however no one says anything because no one gives a fuck
Ethan Perez
This
Chase Wilson
Or only slavery by people that Yankees hate is bad.
Jason Baker
rednecks were so lazy and dumb they have to bring in black guys to pick their cottons. If you dumb redneck trash were not so dumb and lazy you wouldn't have black guys now lmao
Cameron Ward
Yeah and while were at it fuck the Natives those anti-American scum they lost fuck em.
Blake Campbell
At the rate they're going, there wont be a single bit of evidence that slavery ever existed.
Brandon Nelson
The video in the first one clearly shows it being destroyed. What does the government have to do with the current culture war going on? The cops just sat there and watched it. The fact that niggers are going to jail doesnt bring the statue back.
Charles Evans
And this is the reason they wont touch the George Washington statues.
Because he represents the Federal Government.
He was a Slave owner also, but its not even about that.
Cameron Murphy
I don't give a fuck about statues, I care about spoiled little retards like you trying to change history to protect your precious feelings
Leo Lee
I have missed the going to jail part. Has anybody actually been prosecuted?
Nathaniel Wright
can't wait for you people to start rioting when they start building Marx statues lmao
Daniel Price
Interesting.
Brody Torres
Not yet. The black lady who put the straps on the statue has been arrest and is being charged with two felonies and a couple misdemeanors.
Jack Cruz
They want to tear it down because they've been brainwashed for the last 70 years into thinking this is "the right thing to do", not because they're smart enough to figure out other reasons to do it.
These people are zombies, they don't think for themselves, it's embarrassing that you hold their intellect in such high regard
Brayden Ward
Yeah, but they won
Bentley Rivera
Sounds great, thanks for the info
Mason Campbell
WTF? but I thought the government loves destroying statues why did they arrest them??
Levi Cruz
The nice thing about a statue of MLK is that it can be removed.
Tit for tat bastards.
Joshua Richardson
Nigger detected, you can't even speak your own language properly.
Thomas Wilson
ok Mahmoud calm down, don't be a grammar nazi
Brandon Morgan
I believe they are also pursuing charges on several other individuals but haven't identified them yet.
Benjamin Russell
This was what we were talking about on /n/ and Sup Forums since Ron Paul ran in 08. You guys lost your way.
Landon Ortiz
TEAR IT DOWN
Charles Lopez
The sheriff arrested them for destroying city(I think) property. Read the article if you're that interested.
Brayden Jenkins
From what I have heard on Sup Forums, the sheriff is a giant liberal pussy. Looks like he has some balls after all.
Joshua Barnes
No one has been saying goverment. The other guys specifically told you that he was not talking about the goverment but commies. Idk if this is trolling or you are being serious but either way its retarded
David White
If she goes to prison; she'll be in hog heaven.
Jose Morris
I dont know about that situation. He could be and is just being forced to due to it being on tape. Its gonna be sweet when they sentence her though.
Bentley Cook
and how are random people assaulting a statue the same as a government legally removing a statue to a museum? OP thread is obviously for the latter since the first one is illegal
Austin Barnes
Because they are not yet powerful enough to abolish private property.
They have to make a show of defending it.
Hunter Thomas
Turn off the lights. Lights are for winners only.
Henry Sanders
Language is the most important ethnic feature. You not being able to use punctuation and grammar in your mother language speaks volumes about your intellect. You probably don't even know a second language, which makes this even more sad.
Brandon Collins
Wrong, they want Confederate monuments gone because they remind people that no one was "evil" in the civil war. It was an argument between brothers where both sides were good, honest men. If you destroy the evidence of this you can begin to make the Confederates out to be comic book villains like the Nazis and KKK have been which can make Americans feel even more shameful about the existence of Slavery than they already do. The problem with that is that the reality of slavery is that Europe and the US should be proud that they were able to bring to an end this tradition which had existed since the beginning of humanity worldwide. Liberals, for all their claims of being read on philosophy, don't actually like complex moral problems which need to be approached with a level head. They demand Voldemort, a witch, a heretic, racist, bigot, Nazi, KKK, or soon to be Confederate
John Reyes
A large and oppressive government is impossible logistically.
It is run by the dumbest fucking people in the country. The lowest bidder. It is hugely wasteful. When oil begins to become severely depleted and millions of poor people who don't respect authority lose out a large and oppressive gov't will destroy itself with impossible deficits and declining services. We are at peak Gov't right now.
Nathaniel Gray
lmao you tard how do you know which is my first language?
Jaxson Davis
>soros reddit hillary foundation! That's some crazy double-reverse psychology there, redditbrah. Doesn't mean it isn't true; whether you are an unwitting yet willing participant, or a paid shill from Brock and Co.
The real question is, are you trying to convince Sup Forums, or yourself?
Luke Adams
Common sense. Shitty punctuation and grammar + stupid political beliefs = BLM nigger
Benjamin Rodriguez
It's a question of jurisdiction you twit.
The people who erected the statues in New Orleans never imagined that a scalawag would be elected mayor and neglected to pass a law imposing capital punishment on any mayor who would have the temerity to give the order to remove them.
Jack Flores
not really, I hate niggers. but the thing is, niggers and redneck trash are the same (they also racemixed together for centuries)
William Flores
These actions show that the people who hold public office are to immature, except Jews, to be entrusted with that office.
I'd also say that these monument removers don't know what it means to be an American.
