    Good. Ship the thing off to a museum, slap a label on it and use it to educate people. Lest we forget.

    Fuck cancel culture.

        I always tune out when someone uses “cancel culture”, “woke” or something else silly

      If this is “cancel culture” the phrase has lost all meaning.

        There is not an infinite amount of museum space, either. They curate their selection and won’t take everything. That’d be impossible.

        Also, melting a statue and turning it into another statue will cause the history of the old statue to be preserved as part of the history of the new statue, meaning again, the events surrounding the old statue aren’t forgotten. The statue’s end and rebirth just becomes part of the art, and imo the new statue would be more meaningful than just another hateful Nazi object.

        I guess a phoenix would make sense here too, but I really like the idea of the dove. Bummed they aren’t doing it.

          A phoenix would have very different implications.

          I especially like the idea of a dove as well being a symbol of peace and all.

      Fuck cancel culture.

      You should tell your great-grandfather that he was practicing cancel culture.

        Implying their great-grandfather was fighting on the allied side. Or even that America was setting out to stop the Nazis. Similar to the union in the civil war, the war was about protecting empire, and not stopping evil.

      I like the dove statue idea for a city, just because cities are full of underappreciated and unfairly maligned doves (also known as pigeons).

        Now I want to see pigeons chilling around a large bronze pigeon statue. Also, can I say: relevant username?
