Bena2005 is that you? kys

For sure. They're staring millions of Americans in the face & claiming Trump & his base are neo nazi sympathizers, & that nobody on the left, antifa, blm, are ever violent. They're self-destructing

Violence against Nazis is a net good. Nazis are evil.

Yes, you've got full blown Israeli shill
"2 gorillion died in the gas chambers, therefore violence and oppression against this unrelated third party 70 years later is justified"
I've heard this same deplorable babble from our resident mossad wannabes.

Zionists are also evil. I support the Neturei Karta with monthly financial contributions.

Lee was so unrepresentative of these United States that Lincoln wanted him general of the union army, and the ideological heros of the Democratic party historically(FDR and JFK) praised him.

I think it's easy to look back 150+ years removed from slavery and see the clear moral choice between the union and confederacy, but in the context of the times I don't think it was that simple. It's sort of interesting that men who lived much closer to the civil war looked at Lee as a great American, but you can't see it.

You just echoed their talking points. You believe you can justify violence against alt-righters protesting pro-confederacy because 70 years ago the third reich killed jews.
Why, I've already heard Netanyahu talk about how the Grand Mufti was the real architect of the Holocaust and the Palestinians are really responsible for the gas chambers.

Oh I get it. It's neo-Nazi now, which is super new. That shiny neo in front of the word makes history irrelevant. Let's just allow these kind and lovely human beings to benevolently spread their message of a beautiful, ethnically pure society. What could go wrong?

were you trying to refute yourself there or did that happen by accident?

anyway, "in the context of the times" is one thing, but we don't live in these times anymore - how many 3rd reich general statues do you think we built to worship here? there is no reason to keep glorifying slavery proponents and traitors - especially considering many of those monuments were erected in the 20th century in times of racial turmoil. also, a significant part of lee's extended family sided with the union, so please don't spare me the apologetic bs - you said it yourself, he could have chosen the right side but he CHOSE to fight for slavery.

should his story be taught in context and is he a significant figure in american history? absolutely, but that's stuff for museums and history books - not something to have in front of court and state houses...
