You used to look to Popular Mechanics to figure out how things worked or if you were a nerd intrigued about building things.
Now, even Popular Mechanics has become subsumed by the leftist mania.
They recently ran an article from James Stout whose bio describes him as a Ph.D “historian of anti fascism in sport and runs a nonprofit that uses exercise to empower Indigenous people to live healthier and happier lives.”
Stout wanted to share with us and Popular Mechanics readers ‘scientific’ instruction on how to take down statues that you don’t like without getting hurt. “How to Topple a Statue Using Science” and subhead, “Bring that sucker without anyone getting hurt.”
“Should you happen to find yourself near a statue that you decide you no longer like, we asked scientists for the best, safest ways to bring it to the ground without anyone getting hurt— except, of course, for the inanimate racist who’s been dead for a century anyway,” Stout said.

Wouldn't want anyone hurt by pulling down the Father of our Country, a Statue landed on a 'peaceful' protester's head while he was helping to pull it down.
Should change their name to Popular Anarchist.
Wonder if the guy who got his head cracked open is in a coma?
Maybe the statue rioters should be required to look at a pic of his skull fracture.
instructions on how to cancel subscriptions to PM ...
Just a matter of time until there’s some backlash and suddenly some Martin Luther King, Obama, liberal figure statues that come down in the middle of the night. Look for the rage-fest.
Bye-bye PM. Oh and F**k you too.
As soon as I saw this, I unsubscribed to their emails that I get at work. My only recourse since I don’t have a subscription.
good enough- I’d send a note explaining why (they usually have a section to explain why- but i doubt they even read them but oh well)
The left wants the war the right won’t fight. Regardless, the left is winning, if they haven’t won already. Individuals can talk up a good story about their own lives, but the country as a whole is being controlled by people the right either doesn’t have the capability of stopping or the will.
The American system has been broken.
Interesting...I went to PM’s Facebook page and website and could not find this article. I was able to find it via the link within Red State’s article, though. PM trying to hide it? Embarrassed? Or, trying to be coy? Never thought I’d see the day when PM became a leftist rag.
Google found it for me
If you decide to go out with friends tonight to topple statues please do it safely, and wear a mask.
I think he dead.
