We'll just have to disagree. There have been plenty of good people that ended up fighting on the wrong side of history. I will not denigrate them or the monuments honoring their sacrifices.
I didn't say that you were an ANTIFA supporter. However, if you support not protecting monuments and allowing them to be destroyed by vandals, then you are on the same side as them because that's what they do. Civilized people follow the rule of law and make changes through the democratic process.
You label people "idiot rednecks" and "horrible people" and then follow it up by saying that I was name calling when I'm the one who did nothing of the sort. I suggest that you look more closely at what you're reading and writing.
Can we take this particular discussion to GD and not here?
