Looks like the Burger King if he lost his crown and did some meth

I read this as lost his crown and did some math.

Same effect either way

Unfortunately, it was removed a couple years ago.

But the Confederate Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery is coming down. So that's nice.

Which sucked that they pulled it down, cause holy fuck was it hilarious watching that thing get vandalized. Pride colors was always a classic go to.

You just had to tell us, didn’t you? /s, and that’s good news on the second point

Sadly, there's still a giant carving honoring the Confederacy on a big cliff in Atlanta for all to see. 90 feet tall. And it was definitely part of their heritage because it was completed in... 1972.

If there was ever a good reason for the invention of dynamite...

“Amateur sculptor”

I heard/read a story somewhere once, where there was a statue somewhere of someone who's better off not glorified. The statue was defaced regularly, and every time it was defaced, there'd be someone cleaning it up.

Over time the statue went on to look worse for wear until one day, the authorities decided it was better to remove and replace the statue.

It turned out the guy cleaning it up was always the same guy, who hated the subject of the statue with a passion, and alway used salt water to clean it, hoping to corrode & wear down the statue. Some people suspect he and the vandal were the same person.

Keeping that tidbit in my head rent free. That's a big brain move if I've ever seen one.

Every monument should fall. The only reason to honor Bob Lee is because he's responsible for more dead slavers than any three Union generals.

This is so beautiful! Can you imagine all the degenerates on the ceremony seeing this for the first time?

Even the racist assholes who worshipped him probably cringed or giggled when they first saw it.

“The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments.”I considered switching 'perfidious' to a word most people have actually heard of, but I decided against it.

Read that guy's biography and I'm not sure this statue is inaccurate lol.

Does it make someone a racist if they hate all this speech about white supremacy?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

That entirely depends on why you hate it / what you hate about it.

If you're intolerant of other people's intolerance, It's valid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That‘s it! I’m also easily offended by how easily people are offended.

Do you want to tell your helicopter joke now? Or do you want to save that for later.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was thinking on telling it now, but it would just be over everyone’s head.

[–] DigitalTraveler42 5 points 1 year ago

Literally just listened to one of my state representatives whine about how pulling down slaver statues is destroying art, well i guess we see why conservatives don't get art, because they suck at it.

Maybe it just proves cocaine?
