Welcome to 2017, the age of the PC-authoritarians.


Government doesn't give a shit about private property.

Huh?

It would be authoritarian to force the removal since it's on private property. They can't though, so I don't see how it's authoritarian.

The mayor is "calling" for these monuments to be taken down. He is out of place using his public office to dictate to private citizens what they should & shouldn't do on their private property.

Even the attention he's drawing will result in the vandalism of the confederate monument. I guess damaging private property is acceptable as long as it's stuff we don't like right?

Oh, I see.

But there's nothing authoritarian about bringing public attention as long as the government isn't taking any action. I'd hardly call it authoritarian to talk about something just because you think it might get vandalized as a result.

Hope this never happens. I don't like Lenin but his statue should stand, esp. on private property.

They should instead hoist a statue of John Brown, a true American hero.



Well that is somebody's statue then, which pretty much makes it off the table. It would be a good place for another alt-right vs. antifa brawl out. These things, if you take away the ISIS tactics some people are employing, look like European soccer matches, complete with police in riot gear :thumbsup:

Guys, this kind of stuff going on in America is our baseline. It has been happening since the very beginning of our country and there was a lull in the 90s and early 2000s. Just enjoy the show.


I just find it funny that a communist is saved by private property

the uk branch of the antifa movement found a cat with a striking resemblance to hitler so they beat it up and left it blinded in one eye
while many on the left here will applaud their heroic efforts, i'm sure some of with a bit of humanity left will condemn such animal cruelty

A pet cat 'who looks like Hitler' that was beaten to the brink of death is on the road to recovery.

Baz, a seven-year-old moggy, has a distinctive patch of black hair under his nose like the Nazi dictator's moustache.

He was found dumped in a bin and clinging to life with severe injuries and blinded in his left eye.

Owner Kirsty Sparrow, 26, fears the timid tomcat was targeted by cruel youths because of his unfortunate likeness.

But five months on black and white Baz has been nursed back to full health and is now brave brave enough to venture back outside thanks to his caring neighbours.

Kirsty, from Tredworth, Glos., said: "His eye has completely healed over and he is quite a lot heavier than he was. A lot of people say he looks like Hitler but he is so timid and gentle.

Chinese children have become the most obese in the world.

Is it possible that strict parenting, social pressure and fat shaming, might not be the solution ?
