Good one, Simon. It is so eerie how "1984" is coming to life all around us.Simonjester wrote: i am surprised the MSM hasn't chosen to rename themselves the "ministry of truth". to counteract trumps calling them fake news, especially now that they are supporting the rewriting of history...
I'd say that the guys pulling down statues are doing it for exactly the same reason that they looted stores and broke windows: it felt good at the time and they're lashing out because they're frustrated and angry at the world in general. It's not because they want to make the world a better place. Saying that they're right because item X might offend them is just kinda silly. First of all, there's no rule that says the world has to make you happy and content. Second, every cultural object that exists probably offends someone, and eliminating them all wouldn't leave us with much.
