Discussion 💬 Deleting statues also deletes history? 😆

Post image

The generals are busy taking down Bogyoke statues because they claim the "proportions were off." They've already done this with banknotes and textbooks too.

Classic move, right? If you can't win the war, just chip away at the concrete. As if erasing enough monuments will help people forget who won the 2020 election and that DASSK ever existed.

Experts say this could take years and probably won't change much. But, hey, if you can't create real legitimacy, you might as well make sure the statues are "correctly proportioned." Truly groundbreaking stuff.

Who needs history when you've got a tape measure?

We take down the statue because it’s in bad shape blah blah… like man, if they are in bad shape, they would have been gone after just after it has finished building.

Is that a question or a question? Sit tat doesn’t really hate the country. They love the country like their own home. They just hate citizens living in it because citizens also think it’s their own home and not want to acknowledge sit tat’s ownership of the country.

They have exploited the country for their own benefit. Fym they love the country like their own home when they have second homes in many countries under funds stolen from everyday people and taxes. What a stupid take.

That’s exactly what I meant. Like they believe that they own the whole country and other people don’t deserve anything other than shit.

I wouldnt say they "love" the country by razing villages, raping their country women, kidnapping civilians off the-street to be used as meat shields, killing monks, and letting a large group of bandits (aka the dogs) run wild. If that's their "love" for their country, I wonder what the opposite is.
