Such massive projection since the entire lost cause mythos is an Orwellian rewriting of history to whitewash treason in the name of slavery.

That is some pathetic backtracking like wtf:

"The statue and what it depicts isn't the point." No, it is in fact incredibly the point.
"It's merely a picture." Then get rid of it.

But really though it's the last bit that does it for me:
"That's the problem...people making more out of something than what it needs to be."

Is that the problem? You CLEARLY wanted to draw the comparison between confederate statue removal and an oppressive 1984 regime. Then you got called out on how loving stupid it is and now suddenly "it's just a picture LOL." I just goddamn hate this kind of disingenuous poo poo so much because people do it irl and pull all kinds of Calm Hitler poo poo like this where they're "just asking questions" then get all smug when you get irritated with them.

SpacePig posted:

lol didn't history books in the south reframe the entire civil war as an act of aggression by the Union for, like, a century? And these statues were built off of that bullshit reframing?

Yeah guys, sorry about my dad, he doesn't think before he does things and he backpedals a lot. He's not the brightest man. He's one of those "I don't discriminate, I hate everyone equally" types and he doesn't think his ideas through before he commits to them and ends up backpedaling a lot :smith:

Seriously. It's not like historians don't value statues and art pieces, but you want to drop some tweed trousers find a catch of old documents, or a peat mummy.

Statues are valuable historical artifacts because they tell who and what a culture was venerating and honoring at the time they were erected.

Draw your own conclusions.

I was under the impression that a large number of these statues were put up during the Civil Rights movement. Wonder why.

Very few.

The boom time for Confederate monuments was during the Jim Crow era, from 1894 on.

I mean, you’re not wrong that the purpose was to remind Black people of the assholes who wanted to keep them enslaved, it just started pretty much as soon as the feds gave up on Reconstruction.

Robert E Lee himself argued against putting up confederate war memorials and statues. gently caress Lee but if these idiots cared about "history" or anything they profess to care about besides "how can I keep black people down" they would maybe listen to their greatest hero?

*to be fair the Lee these idiots venerate has almost nothing in common with the actual Lee so I guess maybe they are consistent

lol I just got curious about what glinner is doing with his lonely twitter exile.

He has created a blog that immediately got hundreds of comments calling him a prick. The solution? It is now behind a paywall. £8 a month to read whatever falls out of his broken brain.

This is also why if you are a cis man and you eat a steak from a female cow, you can be feminized. Because in that case, at least you're eating something with mammal hormones and the same sex determination as us.

I wonder what they'd think about the fact that most marketable beef comes from steers, aka castrated bulls.

That is hilarious because I recall that account replying to Glinner’s main as a sock puppet before it got banned. I tried to scroll through the James Barry account to find that interaction but just yesterday he posted nearly 100 tweets/replies and I realized I would die of old age before being able to scroll back to June.
