Replacing Historical Monuments

 MiniTru Momemts

How long do you think it will be before Democrats vote to replace the Statue of Freedom currently atop the US Capitol Dome with some Trafalgaresque "4th Plinth" Trans-Art Installation (in the name of Inclusivity)?  It's not like they haven't replaced and repurposed Monuments before now...

Never.

Transphobe!

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

You're loudly and proudly proclaiming what you are? Yeah, I already knew that about you.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

That was an accusation, not a proclamation.

Joe Conservative said...

Not much of an "ally", are you?

...retreat into the motte when the action on the Bailey gets too hot.

False accusation. Not hating trans people doesn't require replacing the Statue of Freedom currently atop the US Capitol Dome. I think it much more likely that republicans decide this statue should be removed. Perhaps by replacing it with a gold statue of d0n0ld.

Joe Conservative said...

...which would be a major improvement over "A Thousand voices in an Instant"... which is likely the source of the Democratic Party's current "inaction" problem.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Sure, you'd see a statue of your fascist leader being placed atop the US Capitol Dome to be an "improvement". I can't say that surprises me in the least.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

All things are relative.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

So, as per you, Democrats replacing this statue would be bad but Democrats opposing it being replaced would be transphobic. While republicans replacing it (with a statue of emperor d0n0ld) would be good.

Even though the reality of the situation is that neither Democrats nor republicans have suggested it should be replaced, nor will either Democrats or republicans EVER suggest it be replaced.

The only reason for this post is that it provided you the opportunity to rant about YOUR transphobia.

good? merely un voz is 'better' than mil voces.

After all, somebody needs to collapse the wave function of possibilities. Character is defined by its' limits.

Joe Conservative said...

...and a single armoured woman ala "e pluribus unum" defines a pretty robust character.

Joe Conservative said...

btw - I don't think that the statue of Pallas Athena bearing armoured attire and weapons inside the Parthenon atop the Acropolis was meant to symbolize her "gender dysphoria".

Joe Conservative said...

...but then again, my political party's entire raison d'etre doesn't depend upon drawing racial, sexual, and now even "gender" distinctions to villainize opponents and hide my parties terrible policy decisions.

Mine neither.

You're an Independent, too?

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

I'm a Democrat.

Joe Conservative said...

...and so, a partisan liar as well.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

No, I tell the truth re online discussions about politics.

Joe Conservative said...

lol!

Your credo? It does seem that you know what the tRumper talking points are, always.

Joe Conservative said...

You mean I know many things that counter the Dem talking points... yours.

Joe Conservative said...

btw - I can change my arguments and mind. You? probably. You're just not allowed to say it. Omerta.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Who isn't allowing me? How are they not allowing me?

I think you can change your opinion to whatever d0n0ld tells you to change it to.

Joe Conservative said...

You aren't allowing you, Derv. That's what Pathos in a Pathocracy is. Internalized Control. White Guilt-Pride.

Joe Conservative said...

...only to you it looks like fweedom. @@

Joe Conservative said...

You're just "feeding your virtue-signal Tamagotchi".

Joe Conservative said...

"What do black people want from me?"

Affirmation. You're simply responding to an affirmation desiring machine.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

I have zero "white guilt pride". And I've never received any affirmation from any Black person. If I'm "virtue signaling", it is to almost nobody.

btw, if blogging about politics is "virtue signaling", then you're doing it too. But, unlike you, I know nobody reads my blog. Or virtually nobody. It may as well be nobody. If I am signaling, nobody is seeing or responding to the signaling.

I haven't bragged about how many hits my blog is getting. Because it isn't getting many.

Joe Conservative said...

lol! A social media presence typically means you're displaying your profilicity with an eye towards Second Order observation and for a "general peer"... who is deliberately non-specific (aka fantasizing yourself in the picture (das Welt) as you desire others to see you). It's like tarns people... desiring everyone to see them not for what they actually are, but how they desire being seen, with all the flaws and bad parts "edited out".

Joe Conservative said...

It's pure "being for others".
