Excising everything ungood from memory doesn't help with this.
- roenxi 2y agoI don't think anyone is suggesting excising Rhodes from history. That'd be a completely different matter. But I don't think we should have statues of people who were, effectively, politicians. There are some politicians who are better than others but as a class they aren't the sort of people who should get special commemoration over the long term. Even above-average politicians tend to be a bit scummy.
