Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on a podcast that he doesn’t think “it’s a good, healthy thing for any culture to erase history.”
Tearing down statues is not erasing history, shut the fuck up and read a book. I'm so fucking tired of the "erasing history" line. Remembering history and honoring it are two entirely different things. The next shithead I hear whining about "erasing history" is getting thrown in the river with their slaveowner statues.
The worms that inhabitated Confederate generals are some of the most honored in worm history. Their descendants went on to the devour the brains of every U.S. president after.
“I have a visceral reaction against, against the attacks on those statues,” he said. “There were heroes in the Confederacy who didn’t have slaves and, you know, I just, I just have a visceral reaction against destroying history. I don’t like it. I think we should celebrate who we are.”
And what, pray tell, was the Confederacy fighting so hard to preserve? Could it have been the system of slavery that the South depended on so much?
He added: “We should celebrate the good qualities of everybody. … If we want to find people who were completely virtuous on every issue throughout history, we would erase all of history.”
Uh oh, you can't do "purity tests" on historical figures. He's the type to say "Well at least the fascists kept the trains running on time" isn't he?
destroying history
mf acting like they destroyed museum artifacts
If we want to find people who were completely virtuous on every issue throughout history
Can't believe I'm going to use a debate pervert term, but i hate this strawnan of an arguement. The issue isn't about the people and their virtues - its whether or not we should have statues that glorify slavery and its champions. The obvious answer is no.
Destroying a symbol of white supremecy is not the same as "destroying history." If you understand the actual history of those statues you would understand why they need to be destroyed (unless you support white supremecy, which is RFK and every other chud or lib objecting actual opinion)
There were heroes in the Confederacy
Well, I guess there were heroes within the borders of the confederacy
But they weren't confederates 
I will not hear this slander of the worm, the worm died a noble death fighting against the poison in RFK's brain but it was just too strong.
I had a visceral reaction too. Like this:
My friend who worked in a civil war museum had the best answer for whenever hogs would try to engage him about this in public, which was to effect a very tough guy posture and say "I don't believe in participation awards for losers"
How about we erect statues of Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan to remember their place in American history.
No one has done more to shape the modern USA than Osama Bin Laden.
Isn't that the same feeling people get when looking at those confederate statues?
Or are the confederate statues more of a reminder that "this guy led my great grandfather into a meaningless battle where he got killed"?
Or "this guy strongly supported slavery and he is in the town square wtf"?
As an outsider I probably won't get it fully, but I can try.
Or "this guy strongly supported slavery and he is in the town square wtf"?
This is about half right. One has to recall how unrelentingly racist the US is to fill in the gaps.
Visceral pertains to the guts. It's a shame that brainceral isn't a word.
I had a very cerebral reaction to this
the confederacy existed for 5 years. the monuments went up sometimes as late as 100 years after the confederacy ended. Sometimes in states that weren't even part of the confederacy. Fighting this sort of glorification of The Slaver Entity isn't "erasing history". It's making history. This cracker probably clapped like a seal when statues of Lenin were toppled in Ukraine.
What if his head is now all worm and the "worm" was just the last string-like piece of brain still in there.
Worms can shed their outer layer of skin while in a host to deceive medical staff into thinking they have removed it while the worm remains very much alive and in control of the individuals mind.
I think he is racist. Obviously the worm was a lefty but ate too much shit so it died. And now that it's dead, he's full on fascist.
So long comrade worm
What a coincidence that after learning he has more sway with right wing voters than left wing ones, he's starting to focus on statues.
