Do we seriously need to rehash this argument? I feel like everyone saw every variation during the confederate statues flair up and the general consensus is that it is a lazy, inaccurate, and ridiculous argument.

Do you think Germany forgot about World War II and Hitler because they destroyed all of the monuments raised during the third reich? I mean FFS I had somebody argue with me the other day that GitHub changing from “master branch” was erasing history. Can’t make this stuff up.
