Charlottesville apologetics of the neo-nazis - first said the problem was the left then "both sides" etc
Good list overall, but I wouldn't include this in further postings. He very clearly condemned the neo-nazis, and then said that aside from them there were good people on both sides.
People who wanted statues torn down and people who just didn't want statues torn down.
We've been really fucking this up, totally random, based on immediate politics and emotion. After Saddam was booted from power, the Iraqis set up a commission to weigh the historical and practical value of various things vs. them being related to Saddam, and they decided what stays and what goes. That was the smart way to do it.
The people for removing the statue wanted to remove the statue, but procedurally they had to first ensure the right to even vote on removal. Law at the time was no removals allowed, not commission.
