I Hate The Way This World Has Become

Cervantes statue vandalized by thug protesters. He was enslaved when the boat he travelled in was attacked by pirates, and only released when his family paid a ransom.

But it would be too naive to think the statue was vandalized out of ignorance. It has because Cervantes was white in a time where whites colonized the world. George Washington's statues are vandalized because he was white in a time where slavery is the past.

BLM and other protestors want to destroy the past, a past they hate, and replace it with their ideas of a new world. Their mindset is the same French revolutionaries or Russian
Bolsheviks used to have. If they reached power some day, their Robespierres and Stalins would soon come out.

Gosh. Thug behaviour really. There is no place for such barbaric behaviour in a civilized world. And those who don't know how to live peaceably should just get the hell out.

@novembermoon This is what you get when politicians invite barbarians to come, empower and endorse them.

@novembermoon Civilisation is breaking down in Western countries. The savages are driving out from cities the ones who want to live peacefully.

"This iconoclasm is a primitive manifestation of rage. These mobs are pulling down these statues and committing violence on them as substitutes for human beings they consider to be their intolerable enemies. There is no real reason behind a lot of this. They are exterminating all symbols of the social and political order. The liberal democratic order is under attack, and the police and politicians will not defend it, any more than university presidents, newspaper publishers, or other institutional leaders, will defend it." - Rod Dreher

@Mugin16 I agree with his words. These should not only be seen only as iconoclasm, but as a warning about what may happen to real people soon. And stupid (or better said, dangerous and with a very certain goal) claims like 'defund police' get us closer to that day.
