See, you're conflating very different situations again. In your mind they're all the leftist boogeyman but in reality there are big differences you are glossing over.Who and what were and have been the driving factor for the statues being removed. These same types of people doing the same types of things.
In the cases of the legal actions, its local governments and their constituents wanting to remove racist monuments from their public lands. In this case, its rowdy college students being vandals because they see white supremacy everyhwere. Not the same people and not the same types of things.
Right and that's exactly what happened with the Confederate statues in many cases such as Charlottesville but here you are saying if you give them an inch they take a mile, as if to conflate the perfectly legal and democratic method used by local governments to illegal ones used by vandals.And now they have turned their attention to other things that hurt their feelings.
Like I said I have or had no problem with them relocating the confederate statues if the peoppe living there wanted to. People that don't live there can fuck off on both sides of the issue.
You're collapsing the nuance to force a point that disappears when you look closely.
