Ditto that!
The cancel culture is devoid of a sense of history. In their efforts to eliminate everything they are taking away historic events. I saw Gone with the Wind in a theater in the 1960’s with my future wife. It was re-released as a colorized version. After all these years the two actors that I remember from the movie are Clark Gable and Hattie McDaniel. Hattie to me made the movie great. She also was the first black to win an Oscar for her performance. Now future generations will not be able to see her great performance. Sad!
Tell me again, what is wrong with the nickname “warrior”?
Indeed. When first in a German bookstore, I took note of the section on "Nationalsozialismus," properly titled and clearly identified. The post WWII Left has made it a mission to label national socialism as "right wing," though in fact it was socialist.
The party name was clear. National Socialist German Workers' Party. Moreover, what was stated often was that the difference between Marxist socialism and theirs was that they were Aryan socialists.
Additionally their Axis partners were the Italian Fascists, which today's Left also labels as "right-wing," although the founders were all European socialists. This is why through until today the Left works overtime to obscure the reality of what a Left wing moniker is, as opposed to a Right wing moniker. The imagery is false. Both the Progressives, the Fascists and the Socialists work towards ever bigger and more powerful government.
Today's Leftists shriek and rage when this historical fact leaps out to prove, as you so clearly say, "Progressivism is fascism."
Attempts by progressives to “move on” are attempts to erase history, culture and visibility. It’s about control.
You’ve got that right!
Didn’t work for the UofND “Fighting Sioux”. The university changed the nickname in 2016 when the Spirit Lake tribe approved retention but the Standing Rock tribe did not.
I spent childhood years on a farm about 90 miles west of Grand Forks so tried to follow this.

That argument didn’t work for the Washington Redskins.
It did work for the Florida State Seminoles, though.
White washing history in order to rewrite it to whatever the dictates of the state are at that current time.
Lovely lesson they’re teaching their kids: how to knuckle under to the state.
