I wonder how Nazi Greenman will spin this. Oh wait, he won’t come to thread and acknowledge. Pcgeek loves this because he hates women. I wish they would just do the Sig Heil for us. Be proud of your hate

Just a friendly FYI, it's spelled "Sieg".


Carry on!

Also took down the pages on Ira Hayes, who helped raise the flag on Iwo Jima, as well as the rest of the Code Talkers. What a disrespect to all of them, including the two still living.

If they asked me to do it I would refuse and demand a courts martial. Make them argue in front of a military judge and a panel of officers why the legacy of these heroes should be destroyed.

Not pasty, white and fascist enough.

Liberals getting "Defeating Imperial Japan" because it's too woke for Republicans.

We've just overlooked our straight white cis male Christian heroes for too long, they need the spotlight back.

They are going out of their way to be "assholes, nazis etc.". I really hope these guys have rude awakening in the mid-terms.

They're just white supremacists doing what comes naturally to them. It's about making sure lessers know their place.

Maintain support of their racist base. But I guess I'm making all this up, right geek?
I don't think their racist base is going anywhere, so I wouldn't count that as gaining anything. I am just going to assume it is stupidity until I see a cogent explanation of any possible benefit to anyone other than their own personal happiness levels rising from their cruelty to others...

It's not stupidity, it's intentional malice, and another manifestation of the ongoing digital book-burning of our modern day Nazi party.
"The cruelty is the point"

Right but harming others for no personal gain is my favorite definition of stupidity.

At least they haven't gotten to the National Park Service yet. That still has the George Washington Carver monument and history and Women's History Month and Tribal Preservation Services and so much more celebrating all kinds of cultures, races and achievements. Check it out in case it's all gone later.

I can offer you my opinion: Conservatives more than liberals are fixated by frightful, disgusting, and impure things. This is a genetic adaption that helps with survival in the wild. never take your eyes off that snake. But we evolved the capacity also to use language with it's capacity to create imaginary duality, this and that with names rather than thoughtless being in the now. So we can terrify ourselves by thinking. Thought is fear. It divides things and names them good and evil. All that has to happen is for a person in childhood to be told his actions are the actions of evil beings and he will become easily manipulated and conform to whatever pile of shit his or her parents or guardians believe in. Conservative Christians in Western culture, for example, fear being seduced by the devil and are always on the lookout he doesn't sneak off one of our shoulders and wisper into our ear, tempting us like liberal doctrine to comittee some terrible evil.

One a person has thoroughly absorbed this kind of ludicrous contempt for imaginary beings and the misery contemplating the hellfire that awaits you at any possible slip, you essentially have a life that has been destroyed on the possiblity of simple being joy. You can never relax or let down your guard.

Now all you need to do is see that misery loves company. People who believe ideas that fuck them fear anybody who is free from such fears. At the drop of a hat they could comit some terrible sin and do something wrong. They need to be threatened with terror so they behave and do not pose a threat. There must be only misery and nobody around who feels alive. The notion of happiness and freedom must not exist. They learned that very young as we all did to some extent.. For that reason I can't be confident you will hear any of this. Once there was a way to get back home... Does it still exist?

The same thing Russia does when it destroys Ukrainian museums, the point is to erase history, to erase a culture. It's the non-killing part of genocide.

To be very specific, those in power that are making decisions are committing genocide on the non-white part of US culture.

Even if that is what they want I just don't see them ever fully accomplishing that. In the age of the internet erasing anything has become nigh impossible. Like people have said it is cruelty for the sake of cruelty and just makes them look petulant even to conservatives. Sure conservatives will rationalize it away to varying extents, but it can't be bringing in many new fans.

It's just dumb, not that I'm complaining. I'd rather they continue to be dumb instead of effective.

You should be worried about dumb becoming effective. Complete removal from all government records. Outlaw of retaining information as crimes against the state/govt, punishable by life in prison/death. Home to home searches for 'illegal information', rewards for the population turning people in. It is absolutely possible to erase information, it's been done time after time throughout history and the internet doesn't change that.

Yeah the internet changes that. Some obscure information may be lost permanently but erasing most things would require destroying every computer and memory stick on Earth.
