REMIND ME AGAIN HOW THE LITTLE HORSE-SHAPED ONES MOVE?

Dick Trauma posted:

Seeing people spontaneously solving problems by pulling that statue down made me think of Fred Hampton. Before the police murdered him he would speak about racism being fought with solidarity, and to see that in action is exciting and hopeful. I hope it encourages people to see how much they can do without needing some goddamn politician to lead them around by the nose and tell them to wait wait wait while they trade horses with other goddamn politicians.

I get your point, but this makes me super uncomfortable because the idea that politics is done by "goddamn politicians" is one of the most toxic American ideas about politics and it leads to people just not engaging because they view it as this alien world. If they're not public servants, then they need to be replaced, because it's actually meant to be an honorable position done by people of good will.

Abraham Lincoln was cool and good, also had bad 1800s white dude opinions, and also was only one part of how slavery was ended in America. These aren't mutually exclusive concepts people.

Apparently because I have some socialist leanings that means I'm a Nazi. After all National Socialists amirite? I called him out on he literal Nazis marching down the street and he said I had a lot in common with Richard Spencer. I lost it.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to come back around for the pillar itself. It's probably more valuable than the statue anyways.

Also sledgehammers are pretty iconic, have historical symbolism, and feel great to swing!

Either way, I hope it's not the last. There's a few in my neck of the woods that I would happily show up to see torn down.

He survived a horse kick to the head, famously won friends by beating them in a wrestling match, threw a cannonball to get people to vote for him, was willing to duel a guy with broadswords, and even as President showed off to troops by holding an axe at arms length for minutes at a time without wavering. He was freakishly strong.

Fun fact: The National Wrestling Alliance (the biggest wrestling company in the world before the McMahon family came around) used to float the idea that their world's heavyweight title stretched all the way back to Abe being the first champ.

All Confederate statues in the state of Georgia should be replaced with statues of William Tecumseh Sherman.



Ironically Sherman liked the South and wasn't anti-slavery. His most progressive opinion was advocating for their literacy as that 'increased their value as property". What he really hated was secession. People owning other people was a-okay with him. So maybe not statues of Sherman.

aside from that the other weird aspect of goonish sherman worship is that people don't credit him for being a skilled general so much as being a destroyer of property, which is by far the lesser of his accomplishments during the war
