- Christopher HitchensPopulists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.
By this logic, Germany would be full of Hitler statues and every other park in Russia would have a lovely bronze Stalin.
Of course it is OK to remove statue
Your post also contains some massive leaps in logic that makes no sense. How can you watch that vid and make claims that they somehow are ashamed?

They fought a war to keep the right to own other humans as you would a dog....
I think you need to google "hero".
Oh look, the other batshit crazy side of US politics.... Man you literally have no good options left do you? The US seems like a political nightmare and with tensions getting to these levels I'd be worried. Like that is near mass psychosis on that mob there, I'd be terrified just walking by, and I generally support what you'd call leftist politics, but this shit is just vandalism and crazytown.
I mean no matter how bad the confederates were for trying to keep their rights to slavery, this shit is not the way to go, this is just degeneracy.
First of destroying or hurting stuff out of hate is never good.
BUT wtf :Seems like the left is in total control .....dude the right ( extreme right). comes to a protest wearing cameo, helmets, weapons and anzi/kkk flags?? And drives over people...and group attack 1 black person......
being a hypocrite allot is normal for you?
We have a president who instead of reeling right wing ( extreme) nut jobs in, adds more fuel to the fire. Witch in turn makes the left ( extreme) more scared and more angry and started to act out. Its going to get worse as long as Trump does not act like a president for all americans , not just the voters he like.
Also it will grow worse because the extreme side's of the political spectrum are getting more and worked up on each other..

Destroying the statue was excessive.
Moving it to a museum would have been preferable.
Well, at least they don't drive people over.
Still rather pointless of course.
So many comments concluding that not wanting a statue from the slavery south is a LEFT position. More precisely most constructed during the Jim Crow Era when African Americans had no power.
Yes you can and should not agree with the way they did it. It was vandalism and against the law.
does anyone here think this ends with statues and graves of ancient dead white people?
just the beginning imo
They should have moved it into a museum. The left is more hateful than anything I've ever seen.
I believe the term 'Useful Idiots' comes into play here. That rally had all the signs of an ideology's last stand; the fact that someone was literally killed protesting fascism on American soil was just the nail in the coffin.
On-topic: While I disagree with destroying these monuments (they ought to be migrated into museums for their historic value, as the South really needs to stop venerating traitors and even Robert E. Lee himself was against Confederate monuments after the Civil War ended), I'm not surprised there's a backlash against what happened at the Unite the Right rally.
