Either way, I agree with him that the statue should go back up.
To be perfectly honest, when I first saw this post I thought to myself, @oldoneeye is "off-the-rails" (conflating "history" and "hate").
But, as I should have expected, this is a very informative conversation about how someone's accident of birth can cause them to be disqualified from existence, regardless of what they actually advocated for with their breath.
And even as interesting a lesson as this is, I believe all statues should be torn down.
The HERO MYTH is one of the most effective brainwashing tools that our owners use against us.
Statues and medals of valor and trophies (among other things) are simply trinkets that perpetuate the myth and manipulation.
I guess I look at statues differently than medals. I look at them like museum displays. I can see your point however, because getting a statue of them would really encourage some folks to undertake sacrificial acts. More than getting a medal would.
Yep.
You really might enjoy this series. Asha Logos has put together this series that focuses on the history that -they- really don't want us to know.
It will help decipher what was really going on that brought us to our current place. History that makes me shed tears. So much lost. So much good lost, with such evil subversive tactics. We've been robbed.
@valued-customer if you haven't seen this either, it will most likely be beautiful to you I know.
It is a multiple part series and I would recommend not missing any. It will open up many puzzle pieces that were missing.
This is phenomenal. You really should piece together a playlist of this kind of stuff.
I think you are right. I just have thousands of bookmarks/saves lol..
Watching now.
Thanks!
I'll definitely take a look.
Of course. The trick is to not make them 'heroes' or 'idols'. They are symbols to remind us....which is why they are coming down. This reset won't hold if we have memories. Statues last longer than books.... Now, the 'placement' of them, I definitely have no issue with them being in museums.
We have had our memories wiped about our past.... after losing a 'connection' to them.
History will keep repeating as such, until we remember.
Don't get me started on "museums".
Haha yea I know what you mean.
How about another name, for a place to store history/memories?
I don't trust the computers, nor books, to outlast time/events.
I like that we can find ancient monuments that tell us, we didn't just appear here 6,000 years ago complete with governments and many written languages and a control grid that the enslaved cannot escape!
And as valued-customer says, what is still under the sea? What could we 'know' about ourselves?
