The part of me which holds a very dismal view of human nature is chuckling at this slow-motion Year Zero. Pull these books, edit others. Take these statues down; we start with some Confederates but we should be able to get Jefferson. While we are at it, why not go after the faces on Mount Rushmore.
- skinnymuch 3y agoSure why not. Why does it matter? There’s unhoused and hungry people in the US and where its military bases are. Instead of worrying about the country being founded by bourgeoisie supremacists whose writing the country still uses as its foundation…let’s worry if Mount Rushmore or Jefferson get “cancelled”. If they aren’t cancelled, what of all the dead victims of the exclusionary foundation of the country?
