How we're allowing this to happen is beyond me. Removing Confederate statues is one thing but this is the slippery slope critics were speaking of...and clearly the tip of the iceberg when people are seriously discussing ending STEM, science, and academia itself.
Dark shit is happening folks.
- "The American Museum of Natural History has asked to remove the Theodore Roosevelt statue because it explicitly depicts Black and Indigenous people as subjugategrafician
- You need to look no further than Venezuela to see how it ends. No running water, no electricity, no gas. All in the name of anti colonialism.hotroddy
- I would really hope no one, left or right, votes based on whether a statue stays up or comes down when there are such serious problems the country is facing.yuekit
- If we turn into Venezuela, it's not going to be because of some statues. But because of terrible leadership, failure to control the pandemic, runaway debt, etc.yuekit
- people justifying the taking of lands, banks, homes, companies all in the name of anti white/colonialism.hotroddy
- third world socialist thinking. Take, take, take, and produce ZERO.hotroddy
- Except none of that is happening hotroddy. The left couldn't even win the democratic primary. This is just more culture war distraction from the real issues.yuekit
- lol some of you laughed about it for pointing to this outcome in the capitalism threadgrafician
- Trump just closed H1B visa program for the year...https://editi...grafician
- https://edition.cnn.…grafician
- the US is basically an immigrant country, closing borders and acting all nationalist is gonna go down real ugly in the next yearsgrafician
- also the statues are not the problem, the problem is many Americans have no clue about their actual historygrafician
- @yuekit? What is 'Defund the police' but a way to divert funds for more 'social programs'?hotroddy
- Less security = less business investments. Also, Chavez was the king of social programs which created a dependent population which is what LEFT wantshotroddy
- @hotroddy Thoughts on this story?
https://www.axios.co…yuekit - I think everyone is losing confidence in Guaido. There is very little Guaido can do. The regime has already jailed family members, body guards, and staff.hotroddy
- Trump backtracked and tweeted today that he would only meet with Maduro if it was to discuss him stepping down.hotroddy
- Well of course he said that in public. To me this sounds very much like Trump though...
"He thought Guaidó was 'weak,' as opposed to Maduro, who was 'strong."yuekit - The fact is we already have a mentally challenged, wannabe authoritarian leader in power who is ruining the country.yuekit
- I agree he's a narcissistic authoritarian wannabe. his inflammatory remarks may result in the country burning to ground...hotroddy
- his economic policies wouldn't ruin the country and have actually helped the middle class (*coronavirus exception)hotroddy
- this country cannot afford socialism. too many feeble minded people.hotroddy
- Well socialism can mean pretty much anything. I think you have to differentiate between endless handouts, vs. government intervention to guide the economy.yuekit
- Trump economic "boom" was the equivalent of an extended weekend drug binge, it was never going to be sustainable.yuekit
- i agree.hotroddy
- There is a slave on the other side of that statue that CNN conveniently cropped out.instrmntl
- you see slave, same way you see a noose when it's a pull rope. You see what you want to see.hotroddy
- Teddy Roosevelt was a rough rider (reason why he's on a horse), president, and responsible for Panama Canal. He literally brought the world together.hotroddy
- which is why he's depicted the way he is. but we see what we want to see. Who wants to give a straight old white guy a statue for improving all our lives?hotroddy
