Interesting comparison.. in Germany, when nazi art is found, it is destroyed.. from what I understand, this is standard practice, otherwise, it becomes collectable and valuable to nazis, promoting this cause... if not this, these symbols should not be displayed publically on public property.

Its dissapointing that buddhas and peaceful figures were destroyed in the name of an oppresor, in the case of China. I know this can be a slippery slope and Americans tend to be pretty manic. With that said, for people to take direct action and dismantle symbols of racism or genecide, in public spaces is totally appropriate and necessary. These symbols bore holes in the hearts of all who pass... I just think its bizarre they lasted so long.

Antifa is interesting because most members claim to be anarchist but is obviously communist young and angry... most people opposing messages of racism and ethno-nationalism are not 'antifa' or violent.... The media will push an agenda for ratings and violent opposition to racism may get more popular. I believe deescalation is more effective, but these rallies should be stopped by the people by any means, with violence being absolute last resort.

I am peaceful, but if I lived somewhere where people were marching with torches and chanting racist shit, Id be out with my water cannon, at least.. as communities, We can Not continue to allow people to chant and cheer racist reteric in public. This might not be an issue for governments to enforce as freedom of speech should not be enforced by police, but it is an issue people must engage and respond to with direct action by obstruction and universities & cities should not be giving the permits for hate groups. ...

there you go.. thats my piece..
