the soviet union was bleak enough that you'd need 1,320 statues to remind you that hope exists but i don't think thats what they symbolized to the Ukrainians

What's the difference between the alt-light and Fox right of yesteryear?

e.
Ideologically

Alt-light generally want protectionism and social programs as long as they go to "the right" people and they despise neocon foreign policy. Part of the reason this stuff has been gaining popularity is probably because they've dispensed with the hideously unpopular aspects of the GOP like tax cuts for the rich, cuts to medicare/social security, corporate subsidies to preferred industries, endless foreign wars, etc.

Seriously though is 1000 statues supposed to be something only bad people do. There's probably just as many statues in the US to various founding fathers, who generally also hold the mythical perfect man status among filthy liberals that most leftists give to Lenin

The problem with that video is even though anybody with half a brain knows a zippo and a can of deoderant isn't a dangerous weapon it is a guy spraying fire into a crowd of people walking past. It wouldn't be that difficult to get a court to assume self defence in that situation since the guy showed no intent of stopping spitting literal fire at traitor fanboys.

As a Canadian you should know this about the First Nations, but Washington ordered the Sullivan Expedition in 1779, which was a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Iroquois Nation that wiped out 40 villages for collaborating with the Loyalists - and the survivors had to flee to Canada.

Washington also commissioned the first American Army as president in 1790, the purpose of which was to break the back of the newly formed Indian Confederacy in the Northwest Territory and make the region safe for white settlement.

Dude I live like 10 miles from a literal confederate-aligned death camp for natives where they worked them to death mining gold. And most people here are under the impression that California sat out both native genocide and the civil war. Everyone knows about the Spanish missions but usually it gets played off as a 'well they had it worse other places' type of deal.

How do they get that impression? If you look at any Civil War map California is obviously in the Union, and they had Union volunteer regiments.

So the argument is that Lenin was a piece of poo poo but that they shouldnt take down his statues because washington was too?

Anything Leftists do is gonna be made to look bad by a comprador media class that serves the interests of their bourgeois masters. Who gives a poo poo about optics anymore? Respectability politics won't work when the opposition will never respect you.

Because the media can't conjure footage of antifa violence out of thin air, and it's about convincing people on the sidelines, not the opposition. We still live in a democracy as much as you hate that fact.
