It's not just Confederate monuments. There's a slow push towards monuments of figures about as far removed from the Confederacy as you can get within the white culture/west history.

It's a push against ALL monuments of white people, or erected by white people.

And if you notice such moves typically have a lot less traction. Even Southern racists per se are safe. No one is going to tear down the Washington monument and Jefferson memorial. If they ever try it should be resisted by force of necessary.

The Confederacy though has always been a bad cause. All the way back to the 1860s.

Apparently not. If they can remove confederate monuments by citing racism, they can remove anything by citing racism.

If they ever try it should be resisted by force of necessary.

You sound like a progressive saying it's ok to punch ''Nazis'' for simply speaking. Honestly, this sentence is only funny though, since you are ok with SOME monuments being removed but not others? Is your opinion the end-all be-all? What about people who want confederate monuments? Should they have the right to resist by force? Smells of hypocrisy.

The Confederacy only existed for a handful of years and existed in spirit since the end of the Civil War. And THEY are the ones who are the most patriotic, ironically. More patriotic than the Yankees, or god forbid the North-Westerners, who want to push policies that are basically treasonous. But nah, southerners have just been the root of all American evil since the Civil War, right?
