The statue that was ripped down was generic Southern soldier. If any monuments were going to be used to teach and remind, a generic soldier seems to be a good example.
Regardless of that, the way to get rid of any statue the local community wants to get rid of is through the democratic process itself, not through mob rule.
We aren't a 3rd world country, that is just the way it is done here, or at least used to be done.
Would it be OK if KKK stormed DC and ripped down the MLK statue?
The slippery slopes these days are greased with oil, give people an inch and they take a mile.
I see a lot of people that need to be made examples of, starting with the idiot that drove the car into the crowd and murdered people. How about a good old fashioned tarring and feathering, we sing koombaya, and go on with our lives?

that a thread about an actual nazi rally in virginia contains 12 pages of people railing against black america's "victim complex" says everything possible about the community dan druff has cultivated.

So were the colonies who did the same thing to the English less than a century earlier. The only difference is that the Confederacy lost and the victors write the history books. You can debate motivations and reasons all day long, but the truth is that the South had every right to leave the Union.
I suggest this new crop of Nazi's are really just left behind folks with no true grasp on history at all. As products of a failed education system and lack of local leadership they are lashing out in ways that gives them attention and therefore makes them feel good. The more they can avoid ownership and place blame of their situation on others the better they feel.
Trying to explain this situation by assuming these folks have accurate historical perspective is a waste of good logic.
there is iron in these words. i think the entire alt-right movement has simply congealed around the lowest gravitational moral sinkhole. and honestly the KKK is one of the most well organized and influential political movements in the history of the confederacy, so it makes sense that all these rubes would fly the banner of white nationalism at the end of the day, what with it having the overt approval of president bannon's white house.

How are attacks on a sovereign nation by a foreign entity analogous to states declaring independence? The southern States that formed the Confederacy attempted to secede from the country they were a part of. You are making an ignorant over the top argument that holds less water than a thimble.
