Iconoclasm can always be justified by the barbarians doing the smashing.

You said no one could be ignorant about what Nazis are.

The point is, prior to 1933 the Nazis could be rationalized because they had never held power. Now, there is no excuse for rationalizing them because they are a known entity with a ghastly record.

Perhaps there's a spot we could put all those types of people and they could protest their supremacist rear-ends off. A way to concentrate them all into one place. A camp, perhaps.

That's their shtick. We were discussing why Trump's so called "fine people" would march with nazis.

So are communists and marxists. Yet we have many people who believe in those  utterly failed and discredited ideologies. I believe I read once that 20% of the NDP were members of the so-called Socialist Caucus - a name chose to as to disguise that it's actually the Marxist caucus.

Because tens of thousands Americans fought and died at Gettysburg and on similar battlefields would be my guess. Not Nazis.

So? Even if you don't like what they stand for, as we were all told as children," two wrongs don't make a right". Considering all the moral equivalency we are seeing, that never sunk in for a lot of people.

There are lots of Confederate monuments at the Gettysburg battlefield and they aren't going anywhere. Places like that is where they should be, not in city parks.

The Americans aren't much different than the Nazis or the nazis.

And yet the people who are proud members of the NDP and wouldn't think of saying anything nasty to their communist and Marxist members are on the front lines in condemning Nazis. They are also, strangely enough on the front line when it comes to defending Islamic extremist beliefs.

Think again. Civil War Trust  and similar non-profit groups are fighting like the Devil to preserve America's Civil War heritage from destruction not only from Father Time and anxious SJWs but eager developers who see $$$ in having houses on or right next to battlefields. Bull Run/Manassas being a good archetype of the destruction being visited upon these once hallowed grounds. The so-called park is but a small chunk of the actual battlefield. The rest is paved over.

You say this as if there is something bad about communism, Argus, defender of the "right". Vietnam, China, many Israeli kibbutzes are communist. 

You say nothing about US extremist beliefs and actions. How extremist is it to plan a genocide that will take the lives of a couple of million Iraqis and then illegally invade their country and murder more millions?

[Omni]

Looks like they could be setting up for another battle in Boston.

That's the American way, which you deeply respect and love, including the genocides, the holocausts, the baby killing, the shaking and baking of innocents, 

Now all of a sudden you get all moral about development??

So why are you, here, attempting to defend Nazis?

I think this is a problem for anyone trying to preserve historical sites.

 

No doubt Trump would be one of those developers if he saw enough money in it.

I think anybody could push a button giving them millions if the consequences do not have to be observed. Greed is a human quality not unique to America's rich white men.

You seem to be coming, somewhat at least, to your senses, Wilber.

Murdering tens of millions is not the equivalent of "pushing a button". It's unique to scum the world over and it just so happens that it is a very American/UK thing, mostly because of their power.

That's pretty cynical and I don't think it is true of many people, some of them American rich white men
