Not sure your analogy works, since it’s the right that is so insistent on preserving cultural artifacts while the left is the side with people actively destroying them. It’s also no coincidence. The CCP did the same thing.
- mullingitover 4y ago> the left is the side with people actively destroying them I was just in Central Park in NYC and there was a huge golden Civil War statue that was completely unmolested, and it's sitting smack in the middle of a very liberal city. General Sherman is very safe from liberals. I'm sure John Brown statues would be as well. Maybe it's not all the cultural artifacts, but only certain ones and the very specific things they represent?
- dragonwriter 4y ago> it’s the right that is so insistent on preserving cultural artifacts while the left is the side with people actively destroying them I dunno, right-wingers seemed just as happy, or more, with the statue of Saddam Hussein being toppled as anyone else. If you mean specifically monuments to slavery, slavers, and the Confederate States of America, sure, the Right is eager to protect those and the left opposed, but for neither side is that about “cultural artifacts” as a broad class.
