Well thunk and well writ, Claire.
You outlined and specified some very fundamental truths
(and all within my TL;DR parameters).
Can’t disagree with any of it, and that’s rare.
There was only one phrase missing: “Bend the knee,”
but that would have necessitated another paragraph.
(What? Yeahhh, there might be a cartoon in that.)

Well stated. The destruction of historical artifacts does nothing to change history; it simply removes the ability of others to learn from it.
But then, those people doing the destroying don’t believe in learning, anyway.
ThanQ, DM
I was stretching my own TL;DR parameters.
This thing has so many aspects and so many tentacles — and so much outright ignorant buffoonery and agenda-driven misinterpretation that a multiple PhD thesis-length research papers would be inadequate.
mainly, tho, I’m madder ‘n a wet hen at all the disrespect.

Be interesting to find out how many of these scumbags are closet owners of statues, (and/or the collected works), of Lenin or Stalin (or Trotsky).
