I know it says that this is real, but my only reaction is, "Is this for fucking real?"

Waiting to see all of this garbage torn down and people prosecuted or at least the history books written about what is going on right now is a surprisingly strong motivating factor for continuing to live through this dystopia.

    These things shouldn't be torn down. Relocated, sure, but Americans need to remember what they're capable of. Maybe put them in some kind of Smithsonian Museum of American Failure, along with all that Confederate statue spam.

    The problem with that is the eventually washing of history. Plenty of people, e.i. dumb shits, go to places pointing out how terrible slavery was and how the south was bad then think, "Gee, those sure was betta times. Derr."
