I see the “racism” sign by the edge of the lake. How could he have been racist? This is just insane.

Yes. This is what the liberal America-hating leftist are up to no doubt.

“The idea behind Year Zero is that all culture and traditions within a society must be completely destroyed or discarded and a new revolutionary culture must replace it, starting from scratch. All of the history of a nation or people before Year Zero is largely deemed irrelevant, because it will ideally be purged and replaced from the ground up. “

Because they could. They saw it as a part of the United States of America, which must be destroyed. The sooner the better.

Wonder if any of them even know WHO Christopher Columbus was? I’m guessing....no.

In its place we should honor indigenous people by memorializing an Aztec human sacrifice ritual. An Aztec priest holding the freshly cut out human heart up to the gods and his victim lying dead on an altar running with blood. What an uplifting, life affirming statue that would be!

“Because they could. They saw it as a part of the United States of America, which must be destroyed. The sooner the better.”

So they’d rather be the robotic subjects of totalitarian government. They have no idea what they’re bringing upon themselves and others.

Forty years of collectivist government indoctrination will do that to a country.
